How about Missouri Republican Blaine Luetkemeyer's (pictured here) ground breaking legislation introduced today, HR 5817, which proposes to relax the law that requires your financial institutions send you a privacy statement in the mail once a year that says they share your data with whomever the hell they'd like? He figures it's a waste of paper. I agree. Maybe that even makes him an environmentalist.
Doesn't he realize those privacy statements keep the Post Office afloat?
That's the answer! A special tax on banks to fill the budget hole at the Post Office!
Maybe tomorrow someone will do something useful...
