Here is Thomas Drake speaking at the National Press Club back in March of this year. This is old, I know, but I was not aware of his speech and following Q & A. This is one of the first NSA whistle blowers that worked as a senior executive for many years. He spoke about his experience in the agency, the process in which he tried to legally whistle blow about the illegal activity (at the time) our government was partaking in, the espionage act, his colleagues, how the classified information system is supposed to work, and advice to fellow whistle blowers. No matter your political affiliation, this is a must watch:

It is now all about control and power and crushing your adversaries. Then again, perhaps it always has been. That's just politics and human nature. 😞
Then again, with our fabulous new "free" health care, who the hell cares man? 😵

The top analyst even say that it will be cheaper to pay the fine than it will be to purchase this 'affordable' as you call it, health care. My healthcare for my family will go up by almost $200 a month just on my premium, that doesn't include the extra out of pocket money I have to pay now, that 'was' covered before.
its not free you zoob, its affordable, you know the difference right?

Originally posted by robbie carrobieThat YouTube video was of a local news report with interviews of people, in their own words, saying that they are getting hammered by increased premiums, and lower income from having their hours restricted, all caused by Obamacare, which you just got done saying is "affordable." One woman says she now has to choose between paying for her family's food or health insurance.
