What happened to all of the doom and gloom economic threads?

1.8% last quarter compared to -6.8% when Obama took office, a gain of +8.6% GDP growth. And the CBO has a -.7% figure allocated to the impact of the sequester due to hundreds of billions in lost private sector demand.

Fix the sequester and we have a more reasonable +2.5% GDP growth figure.

Pass an infrastructure jobs bill and we're over 3%.

If you ever had a real job, or in a position to hire others (where you were responsible for the P&L) then I would give you some weight on the matter.

You and the others just don't understand business. But its okay, since none of you pro obama people have had real jobs. Nothing to be ashamed about. you just need to put down the juice and enter this thing called reality

The stimulus wasn't an infrastructure bill.

Republicans say we can't maintain and update our infrastructure because it might help America. And America getting better is a bad thing when a Democrat is in office. Repubs have always supported infrastructure bills though and will resume doing so once a 'pub is president.

It's party before country, every time.

The stimulus was five years ago. Infrastructure continues crumbling, DUMMY!

The only reason that this is the "worst recovery evr" is because there hasn't been enough government spending. That's the way that countries get themselves out of depressions and recessions. The republicans know this, but they want to have something to rally their idiot base.

so what about all those "shovel" ready jobs? they were suppose to do that...

hum....


I guess you support the obama printing money to support the obama regime?

The stimulus only had $25 billion for highways and tiny amounts for rail. We need a bill that's six times that size to fix things up and give the economy a kick in the pants.

yep, I was a junkie for capitalism but now that I see the path, where one can live high on welfare, food stamps, and other entitlements why should a person work?

are there any other entitlement programs that you are mooching off of that I need to sign up for?

D.C. awards Obamacare IT work to offshore outsourcer

Contract details not available

By Patrick Thibodeau

June 28, 2013 12:53 PM ET







Computerworld - Infosys recently announced that it had won a $49.5 million contract to develop a health benefit exchange for the District of Columbia. That's one of the larger government contracts won by an offshore outsourcing firm, but it's unclear whether any of the work will be done overseas.

Health benefit exchanges are one of the changes brought by the sweeping healthcare reform bill, which is commonly known as Obamacare but whose official title is the Affordable Care Act. The contract was awarded to a U.S.-based Infosys subsidiary, Infosys Public Services, in January, but the company announced it this month. Infosys is based in India.

The intent of the health exchanges, which are due to begin operation Jan. 1, is to allow consumers to compare various health insurance plans. Insurers can't refuse to sell consumers a policy under the new law.

Infosys is acting as the prime systems integrator on the project, which includes replacing the city's legacy Medicaid and eligibility systems.

Infosys was asked by Computerworld whether the work is being done in the U.S. or offshore, and if H-1B workers were being used on the project. Infosys is one of the largest users of temporary work visas, and it completes much of its IT work in lower-wage countries.

An Infosys spokeswoman said the company will not release any specifics about the contract, but she said it was in compliance with contract's rules.

Similarly, the D.C. Health Benefit Exchange Authority (HBX) has not provided any information about the contract.

An HBX spokesperson said the IT contract was approved by an agency other than the exchange authority, but was uncertain what agency had approved it. Although the exchange authority is ostensibly managing the project, it didn't respond to questions by deadline about whether any of the IT work was being completed outside the United States.

Computerworld has filed a Freedom of Information Act request with the District of Columbia's Office of Contracting and Procurement for access to the contract and any memorandums associated with it.

Offshore outsourcing firms have been awarded government contracts in the past, but generally their success in securing government deals has been limited.

David Rutchik, a partner at outsourcing consulting firm Pace Harmon, said offshore services providers haven't historically been big players in public-sector IT work.

"However, as they gain more credibility and beef up their internal U.S. organizations by bringing on more American resources and creating more onshore development centers, they are gaining more traction," Rutchik said. The Infosys contract win is a prime example of that, he said.

Whether outsourcers can use offshore labor depends on the nature of the work. Federal security and privacy rules limit where the work can be done. But "unless there are specific statutes or regulations, they can usually decide whether to use onshore or offshore resources," Rutchik said.

This article, "D.C. Awards Obamacare IT Work to Offshore Outsourcer," was originally published on Computerworld.com.

But the have money for WH PARTIES and OVERSEAS TRIPS

WELCOME TO OBAMERICA: The Washingtonian: “Children Are Dying.” “Because of nationwide shortages, Washington hospitals are rationing, hoarding, and bartering critical nutrients premature babies and other patients need to survive. Doctors are reporting conditions normally seen only in developing countries, and there have been deaths. How could this be allowed to happen?”

How, indeed?

Obama Spends $100 Million On Family Trip To Africa But Cancels Marines’ July 4th Fireworks…




Obama couldn’t care less.


WASHINGTON (AP) — The Fourth of July won’t have a patriotic boom in the sky over some military bases because budget cuts and furloughed workers also mean furloughed fireworks.

Independence Day celebrations have been canceled at the Camp Lejeune Marine Corps Base and at the Army’s Fort Bragg, both in North Carolina. The annual July Fourth celebration also has been scrapped at the Marine Corps Logistics Base in Albany, Ga.

The reason is money — namely the lack of it.

The failure in Washington to follow up a 2011 budget pact with additional spending cuts meant $85 billion across-the-board cuts that began in March. Budgets tightened, the military took a major hit and many federal workers absorbed pay cuts through forced furloughs.

When the decision was made to forgo fireworks at Camp Lejeune, the commanding general, Brig. Gen. Thomas Gorry, said the cancellation would “ensure that we can mitigate the fiscal challenges we are currently facing.”

Last year’s Independence Day at the base cost about $100,000, including $25,000 for the fireworks. The big issue is paying the overtime to personnel for security, transportation, logistics and safety. Base officials said they couldn’t justify paying overtime when federal workers are losing pay while furloughed.

Obama’s African getaway could have funded 4,000 fireworks displays

Wait, congress failing to act to avoid the sequester is now Obama's fault?

How does that work?
