I think the NSA is a travesty. I think that the "War On Drugs" started by Richard Nixon is a travesty.
I don't see any hypocrisy from me on that. I'm an equal opportunity lover of freedom and of the govt. staying out of our lives and pocket books.
As for what the President is doing...hell yes I have a problem with every politician spending our tax money like it's nothing.
Yeah, he doesn't mind raising the wages of federal employees! Why not? The govt. doesn't EARN it's money. It takes it from us.
But in the bigger picture...everytime something like that is done without the consent of Congress, it goes against our entire structure of govt.
Doesn't matter if you "like" what he did or not. It's a bad thing.
