The president's 2010 budget proposal also indicates the administration's intention to enhance the intelligence community's role in overseeing cybersecurity.

Some would call it spying.

I'm not really worried though. With the huge deficits, no one will be able to afford broadband.

Now listen up everyone!

Round up all of your bank records include account numbers and passwords, email user names and passwords, all of your log in sites with user names and of course passwords, and voluntarily send them to the Department of Homeland Security's National Cyber Security Division.

This selfless act on our part should free up millions of dollars that they would normally waste developing software and other tools of the trade to spy on us.

Instead of giving the money back to the treasury so that the can give it to their banker buddies they can use the excess funds to make important purchases such as 25,000 dollar toilet seats and other such kool items.

Not LOL

The dems right now are like teenagers let loose in a mall with their daddy's credit card.
After ballooning the deficit by over a trillion dollars in just one month.... virtually every government endeavor has more money allotted to it. So why not instead just report on the few programs that had their money cut? There may be one or two.
