March 30th – End of a slow week in politics. Scratch that, glacial. But the WA Post did report that Maryland’s dumping its Obamacare exchange and will copy Connecticut’s instead, “an acknowledgment that a system that has cost at least $125.5 million is broken beyond repair.” $125.5M!

Those 100 (each at $1,000/hour) would have to work 40 hours/week for over 7 months! (100 x $1000 x 40 x 31.38 weeks = $125.52M) Then you’d start over.
