Quote:Obama administration officials often complained that they had little interaction with the teams that were to succeed them, making it hard for there to be a smooth continuation of governance. The trump administration often publicly dismissed these concerns. And when the news came down that they were pulling Obamacare outreach advertising, they pitched it as a long-thought-out cost saving measure.

"The federal government has spent more than $60 million promoting the open enrollment period," a spokesman told Politico. "HHS has pulled back roughly $5 million of the final placement in an effort to look for efficiencies, where they exist."

In reality, the administration—whether through miscommunication or an unintended misstep—had burned money that they couldn’t recoup.

“Weber Shandwick estimated that the dollar value of outreach that it had already canceled, before receiving the updated instructions, was approximately $1.1 million in costs that could not be recovered for HHS,” according to the IG’s findings.

trump’s War on Obamacare Cost Taxpayers $1 Million During His First Week In Office

Please dont tell me this was where the Obama administration rushed out to spend millions on Obamacare, Trump cut it off, and there was one million they couldnt recoup. It wasnt that incident was it?

remember when the left bitched and moaned about the wasteful spending? yeah, neither do i.

That's nothing compared to spending on golf and protecting the Royal family. Probably close to a few years worth of spending during the Obama years. Obama just couldn't waste money as well as Trump.

I'll take Selective Outrage for $500, Alex.

2.411381721726549e-7 of the 2017 budget. Shocking!

Has the establishment still not figured out that it’s being punished for its sins?

Present company excluded, the left as a whole didn't, but the right sure did when Obama was prez.

So...why the off-handed dismissal of this and other trump waste now? Inquiring minds want to know.

Why do I need anything more? $1 million wasted under Obama was important to you guys and now it's not under trump. You can't have it both ways...at least you couldn't and remain relevant before trump changed things.

the only time $1 million wasted under oblunder mattered was when he had racked up a few trillion dollars of wasteful spending.
