Amazing too that we can't find money for food assistance (SNAP) to poor people but we can pay NSA agents for fools' errands in video games. I'm waiting for the revelation that Gen. Alexander's NSA underwrote "The Mists of Pandaria" with tax dollars.
I'm complaining about us wasting money on COMPLETE NONSENSE. If you think "investigating" whether Al Quaeda is communicating versus gnomes jumping on top of the auction house is a valuable use of taxpayer resources, why aren't we investigating whether terrorists are using kebab interval-spacing as a communications medium?
Funding SNAP will feed my fellow hungry humans. Funding the NSA will... Who knows? We just have to take their lying word for it.
Usually I treat posts like yours with a base modicum of respect, but I'd really think twice the next time if I were you.
