Is a Universal Internet ID that is Issued and Controlled by the U.S. Government a Good Idea?
Excerpt:
These "trusted identities" are being touted as a way to increase safety and security on the Internet and as a way to eliminate the need for dozens of different usernames and passwords. But is a universal Internet ID that is issued and controlled by the U.S. Government really a good idea? Right now, Obama administration officials are trying to make it seem as non-threatening as possible. They are insisting that it will not be mandatory. They are insisting that it would be impossible for hackers to steal the universal Internet identities. They are insisting that none of our personal information will be gathered or used by federal agencies. But in light of how regularly the government has abused our liberties and freedoms in recent years in the name of "security", should we really believe what they are saying about this new universal Internet ID?

It's the Republicans that want to rob Americans
blind.
Take away this and than Social Security.
You stink!
The fear they have of rebellion must really be huge!
The sheeple for the most part will never speak up or lift a finger to help stop the tyranny of our out of control goverment!
President Bush signed into law everything that was needed to monitor use of the internet with the excuse it was to protect the "homeland". We gave up many rights before President Obama took the oath of office. He is continuing many of the programs, but he did not initiate them. We are becoming more of a police state, all in the name of "national security". It doesn't have a liberal
or conservative agenda, it's all about control and power.
For God's sakes another project where they will have to create an agency who hire huge companies, pay big bucks and ultimately find it out of reach economically and technically. A good example of this is the "scrapped the virtual fence"
$400 billion + in less than 5 yrs a completion date that was off by several years and all of a sudden GONE.
And it's about our security? Secure the border then come talk to me about the internet…lol
