$18 million for a website?

I was just reading the news and came across this doozy over on the ABCNews website:
$18M Being Spent to Redesign Recovery.gov Web Site
ABC News’ Rick Klein reports: For those concerned about stimulus spending, the General Services Administration sends word tonight that $18 million in additional funds are being spent to redesign the Recovery.gov Web site.
The new Web site promises to give taxpayers more information about where their money is going than the current version of the site.
“Recovery.gov 2.0 will use innovative and interactive technologies to help taxpayers see where their dollars are being spent,” James A. Williams, commissioner of GSA’s Federal Acquisition Service, says in a press release announcing the contract awarded to Maryland-based Smartronix Inc. “Armed with easy access to this information, taxpayers can make government more accountable for its decisions.”
The contract calls for spending $9.5 million through January, and as much as $18 million through 2014, according to the GSA press release.

What in the tarnation? I wish we had the kind of money to work on CoTradeCo.com. But the rest of us business owners out here are in the middle of building an actual recovery plan for the country. By actually building an economy!
I’m all riled up so forgive me. But when are we going to wake up and quit swiping the national credit card and shameful spending and reload the political browser?
Like I said on the video you posted, I don’t hate Obama, but this is just ridiculous.
BARK! BARK!
I’ll say it again, just one more time. I Know when someone is trying to steal my kibble.
I want 18 million dollars. Seriously though, that can’t be money for the website, it must be a way to fund evil database tracking systems so they can keep tabs on us.
