State computer can't handle full disclosure

With republicans in charge it's like having the fox in charge of the henhouse and blaming the farmer when eggs are stolen.
How much longer are we going to let this imcompetance be tolerated.
Who rolls out a system without proper testing?
Maybe if he spent less time filming TV commercials in his PJs and out cruising the state campaigning for Governor and more time in the office overseeing his ONE little job we would have a system that works.
Did he shortcut the computer polling systems too?
I think the problem is that in creating computer programs, unlike all the bureaucracies for which governments are renowned, the success or failure of its operation is undeniable. With a computer, and most physical, tangible things, it either performs its function and is deemed successful, or it doesn’t and is discarded for something that will perform the function.
On the other hand, governmental agencies can exist for decades in a constant failure mode. With waste, inefficiencies and customer service that would be considered completely unacceptable in a commercial environment. However, with the duplicity for which many politicians are famous, the response is simply to praise their efforts and add more money and people to try and get it right.
The difference is the mode of income. Commercial entities must persuade people to trade their money for goods/services. Government, with sole confiscatory authority, simply takes it. Or prints it.
Heckofa job Herbert!
