I disagree. This government is not right wing. Neo-cons are not even right wing. To me they seem a lot more like spend and tax liberals. They like nothing more than trouncing on individual's rights and thinking they know better than you how to spend your money.

Nah, really I asked as the sitting president and both houses o'congress are in the firm clutches of the the right. They were then and they are now. While I'm sure you're right and there were lots of Dems that supported this measure, you cannot escape the fact that given a House and Senate majority and a presidency that this is a right-leaning measure. And if Dems were in control the way the Republicans are now, you'd be bitching about exactly the same thing. > What's the issue anyway? That the government knows you made a large > payment? Yeah, actually that is only part of it. WTF right has the government got to go sniffing about my credit card accounts? And why is it a flag-flipper to pay off a debt? Are we expected to believe that payment of a credit card debt is some harbinger of bio-terror? What exactly, and you can feel free to answer this, but I have a feeling you won't, does paying off a debt have to do with terrorism? Are we expected to believe that a terrorist is going to throw some money at a credit card shortly before blowing himself up? Is there perhaps some evidence that Atta paid his Citibank bill shortly before boarding? you may feel free to answer at any time. > Haven't they always monitored any bank deposit of $10K and up? Yes indeed they have, but this isn't a deposit to a bank account, and I for one, do not think it necessary to flag a credit card payment in this way. Somebody obviously did and they had more pull in Congress than I did. > Do you think your credit report is not publicly available? Gee gosh Sam... really? boy glad you let me know... And no, I don't have anything to hide. My credit is shitty. but how the FUCK is that the government's business?!!?!?!!? And if I should decide to pay off a credit card, how exactly does that make me a terror threat?
