>> You mean a private enterprise like Boeing which bungled the 787 much worse than this.

The 787 flies and essentially performs its job. No one has suggested dumping 787s in the river, but that's exactly what people are now suggesting is going to happen with the Obamacare website.

There have been colossal software failures, but those mostly don't make it to market. MSFT, Apple, and others, have withdrawn products that were just so screwed up they couldn't fix them (and anyone who has much software development experience, including me, has done the same).

So, I disagree that the 787 ranks with the Obamacare website. They both are failures in their own way, but Boeing will solve the problems with the 787. Government will never, ever solve the problems with Obamacare. The scope of the Obamacare failure is so huge it will contribute to bringing down the federal government, if it is not repealed.
