67. Reminds me of the time Cheney had the oil execs come in to look at some maps of Iraq

Then there were the meets with the Big Pharmaceutical Co.s and Insurers before the Insurance Mafia Guaranteed Profits Act was pushed.

Could be time for mandatory bank accounts with the Big Five Banks for "streamlining of Income Tax records" and/or the phase-out of paper money and coinage issued by the Treasury in favor of all-privatized money supply on Big Bank issued plastic. Something nice and 100% mandatory for your democratic enjoyment... Time will tell.
