So what? According the White House, that’s just not a significant amount of sheep people to worry about.

The administration’s admission last Friday—it’s always a Friday—that it had sent out 800,000 Obamacare tax forms with mistaken information is merely the latest confirmation that, when it comes to President Obama’s signature health law, the White House and its bureaucratic operatives are in way over their heads.

The tax forms, which document tax credits received under the law, were likely to prove daunting to individuals in any case. The administration’s rampant mistakes are certain to make tax-season headaches even worse. […]

The White House downplayed the size of the error, saying that it only affects a “very small fraction” of taxpayers. But even a fraction is still a fairly large number. Close to a million people will have to delay their tax filings as a result of the error, according to the Associated Press, and about 50,000 who have already filed will have to do so again.

The mistakes appear to have occurred when the system used the wrong year’s premium to calculate the subsidy amount. How exactly did the system go so wrong? That’s a good question, but it’s one the administration cannot satisfyingly answer. As Andrew Slavitt, the second in command at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which oversees the implementation of the health law, indicated to The New York Times, “officials did not know why the mistake had occurred.”

This is not exactly confidence inspiring.

Sheep don’t need confidence in their masters. They just need to stay sheep.

Baaaaa…
