“What is being done about this? Nothing. It keeps growing. How much does this cost? At least $80 billion a year. That is a lot of money. What is being done inside the federal government to control this? Nothing. Do they monitor our phone calls? Yes. Did they deny this for years? Of course. Then Edward Snowden blew the whistle. A British newspaper published it. Will this change anything? Yes. He will go to jail. Anything else? He will get a great deal of publicity. Anything else? No. The Obama Administration is far more concerned with Snowden’s leaks than with the snoopers. The Obama Administration is the Bush Administration, digitally speaking.”
