What do you know that everyone else "should know?" [View all]

While the NSA scandal brought this to my mind I'm sure there are other things that political junkies such as yourself are aware of that the general populace is not.

One of the defenses of the NSA spying program is that "We've known about this since Bush did it" and so what is the big deal?

What do you think would be a scandal if it got actual air time but is something that the populace should already or does already know about?
