Your financial security

By now we've all heard about the government's loss of millions of financial records of current and past members of the armed forces. This information, in the hands of identity thieves, can cause our soldiers and veterans to be burdened with thousands of dollars of fraudulent debt, loss of countless hours of trying to straighten out the mess, and trashing of their credit records. A horrible situation, to say the least. What's worse, is that the VA warned this would happen if security wasn't increased, but their requests were denied by the neocon government. So, how has the "support our troops" neocon agenda been adjusted to help our brave service men and women now that their negligence has enabled this?

They just overturned laws in several states that allow victims of identity theft to freeze their own credit histories. So, once credit crimes start being perpetrated against you, your right to prevent further crimes against you was just taken away by the Republican Party. They will not allow states to pass such laws.

The neocon philosophy - bigger central government, much higher government spending, skyrocketing national debt, fewer states rights, increase dependency on foreign oil, war for natural resources and corporate interests, degrade public education, fewer individual freedoms, and harm citizens rather than the mere perception of inconveniencing big business - even if it helps criminals.

We could solve our dependency on foreign oil if we could just harness the power of dead, honorable Republicans spinning in their graves because of what their once proud party has been reduced to. Pathetic.
