The federal government has been low-balling the public for years on how much debt it actually has, a University of California, San Diego economics professor says, adding that the real amount is $70 trillion, not $16.9 trillion.

The NSA is giving your phone records to the DEA. And the DEA is covering it up

A day after we learned of a draining turf battle between the NSA and other law enforcement agencies over bulk surveillance data, it now appears that those same agencies are working together to cover up when those data get shared.

Seems odd, to me, that we have to point this out every now and then. The naive trust some people have in government always perplexes me.
