(62,325 posts)same talking points to get billions of dollars from Congress for their activities also.
If an ordinary person does that, it is called a 'scam' and if caught they are subject to consequences.
If Congress continues to spend Tax Dollars funding these scam artists while telling us they have to cut Social Security, then something is very wrong with this government.
All funding to the NSA should be postponed until there is a thorough investigation of where the money is going, and what they have done over the past decade or more, to justify any of it.
I think it is all being done, all the spying, for Business and Marketing purposes with little of it for 'terror'.
How wonderful to have such a huge budget to find out the spending habits and interests of the public so you know how to market your products, not to mention a huge Agency with dozens of sub contractors to help boost your business.
But funds allotted for Security are not supposed to be redirected to enhance the profits of Big Corporations.
That wwoud be a crime, if it turned out to be true, wouldn't it?
But won't know until a thorough investigation, not one of these toothless Congressional Committee hearings we get so often, is conducted.
