Does anyone else remember the first release of the Windows operating system? The goddam thing would barely run and every ten or fifteen minutes it would hang up. Often it required a systems analyst to get it restarted. Thank goodness Microsoft didn't throw in the towel. I was also around for the first tests of Google. I used to be a Netscape Navigator user.
You folks can bitch and moan and play like you have some kind of magical proof that Affordable Health Care won't work but you know that the real reason you want to stop it is that you know future generations will refer to ObamaCare the same way people today refer to the New Deal and president Roosevelt. FDIC, FERA, CWA, CCC, Indian affairs Reorganization act, NIRA, PWA, SEC, AAA, TVA, WPA, FSA, National Labor Relations Act, Fair Labor Standards Act, Social Security, the Manhattan Project etc.........any of those sound familiar to you??
It's no wonder that after Roosevelt was re-elected three times and was serving in his fourth term when he died that they couldn't wait to put a two term limit on the presidency. I'll never forget when he died in the spring of 1945. I was a fifth grade student and our school closed for the rest of the week as did many in the country to recognize a great man.

Is your whole existence based on fellating Obama?
New Deal was arguably the biggest train wreck of legislation this nation has or ever will see - including ObamaCare.
The New Deal has some controversial aspects, but things like the SEC and FDIC are cornerstones of our economy and its hard to imagine how we would function without them. They provide a firm base on which private enterprise can grow with enough rules to avoid anarchy but not too many to stifle growth.

We could function very easily without the FDIC today. Back then, possibly an issue. Today? None.
The New Deal was about 10% good and 90% bad. Sorry if I'm not enough of an ideologue to point out the 10% in an effort to bring a positive spin.
No you're too much of an ideologue to point out the 10% in an effort to bring an more truthful assessment.

Obamacare found its poster boy for "success" in one Chad Henderson, who claims to have successfully enrolled where others have encountered nothing but frustration. As Chad wrote on his Facebook page:
I've now been interviewed by The Wall Street Journal, Washington Post,Chattanooga Times Free Press, The Huffington Post, Enroll America, and POLITICO!! Those stories will be published in the coming days. I have a press conference call with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services later tonight. Also, local folks..... my interview with Kimberly Barbour WRCB-TV will be aired TONIGHT at 5:30pm on WRCB Channel 3 Eyewitness News so be sure to check it out thanks for all your support!
As Twtichy noted:
Wow, that's a lot more coverage than most people were able to score from a visit to the broken health insurance exchange website. Another amazing coincidence: Henderson lists himself on LinkedIn as an Organizing for America (i.e., @BarackObama) volunteer working to continue the president's agenda.
In fact, as it turns out, Chad has a long history as an Obama activist.

Hitler was a hell of a guy. He didn't smoke or drink, and was a vegetarian - all great characteristics in a human.
bull****We could function very easily without the FDIC today. Back then, possibly an issue. Today? None.
the new deal was a wonderful program. one which Obama should have emulated when he held command of the congress. it allowed struggling families to be able to withstand the effects of the depressionThe New Deal was about 10% good and 90% bad. Sorry if I'm not enough of an ideologue to point out the 10% in an effort to bring a positive spin.
What was that Big Bang Theory video you posted in response to a discussion about whether atomic weapons also counted as chemical weapons?
That right there, that's what this is.
bull****
the FDIC is a critical component of our banking system
but you are welcome to keep your deposits in a singular account, in excess of the deposit guaranty limits

I'm shocked-I'm SHOCKED I say!!:lamo
Withstand? You'd be hard-pressed to find an economist worth his salt who claims that the New Deal didn't exasperate the Great Depression.
Sorry Campbell, but I remember the first release of Windows, I fact I still have the first two releases on a floppy. Very easy to use. But you're probably talking about windows 3. Again, was easy to run, especially if you replaced progman with wayfarer. Nor was nutscrape all that original. Andresson and buds stole the mosaic code when they left the NCSA and proceeded to screw the pooch with it.
The first day farkup isn't proof that Obamacare won't work, but it shows the level of planning that went into the effort. Also shows there are incompetents at the helm.
That's basically a goddam lie. I worked and most of the time as a section supervisor in one of the largest mainframe computer centers in the U S from 1961 to 1993. When I retired we had $66 million of computing and telecommunications systems installed on over 18,000 sq ft of floating floor I was using the Internet when it was called ARPANET. Don't throw some more Republican(T) bull**** at me.....I've been there, done that.

So, you worked big iron, so what? Doesn't change the fact that windows first release was a DOS app. Doesn't change that you confused the release of windows 3 and then 3.11 with their first release. Doesn't change that Andresson stole the public code from the NCSA (he was on the Mosaic team). The internet was never ARPANET (which you confuse with DARPANET), though that was it's origin. And how a long time engineer such as yourself would confuse the internet with the web is beyond me.
So now, what was this first release of windows you referred to? Btw, you're not the only one who worked with big iron.
