In the space biz, classified info is carefully compartmentalized. You sometimes hear a rocket scientist make comments like “my job is so secret I don’t even know what I am doing.” It is funny because it isn’t far from the truth. Plenty of guys supply components who do not know or care what the final application is going to be. They are given a set of specs, they meet them, they get paid. When others inside the company ask questions, it is the engineer’s responsibility to verify they have a need to know.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='color:#1F497D'>When I saw the kinds of questions they were asking on HealthCare.gov, I struggled in vain to figure out why they would need to know any of it. Three security questions? Why? I never did figure out the need to know, and I damn sure will not offer it freely to an organization which has known fifth-takers, Tea Party suppressors and confidential data leakers. The IRS is corrupt. Don’t offer them data.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='color:#1F497D'>Here’s what they should have done to start with. Instead of coming up with a claim that the federal government has the authority to order citizens to buy something (an argument as shaky as a twerking cheerleaders hind quarters) then having it overthrown by the court but upheld as a tax (which has its own set of new problems) they should have set it up under the clause with allows the draft. When that was first used during the Civil War, anyone who had a ton of money could pay someone else to take their place; you could buy your way out of military service. Plenty of rich guys did so. OK no problem: draft everyone between the ages of 18 and 50, with the provision that you can buy your way out with a health insurance policy or an opt-out (of the army) fee, the proceeds of which would be then be used to subsidize the poor. Declare the individual mandate not a tax, but rather an option to not go to the army. Problem solved.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='color:#1F497D'>spike<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
