The key word there is "Politicians". Not Democrats. Not Republicans. (As they both do this).

And yet when the Democrats came to power, the motto was "Never let a crisis go to waste".
You mean the plan that Heritage came up with in the early 90's that they concluded was unworkable? Romneycare and Obamacare are nothing like that (they are worse).
RTFA - Republicans called for this to happen.
"Last Friday, Sens. Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa) and Mike Lee (R-Utah), along with Reps. F. James Sensenbrenner Jr. (R-Wis.) and John Conyers Jr. (D-Mich.), signed a letter calling on Holder to end Equitable Sharing."

Depends which part of the GOP you are talking about though (As the Republican party is not some giant monolithic lock step party). The Republicans that are concerned about civil liberties (ie, those who didn't think about civil liberties when the patriot act was first signed, but have regretted it) will support this move. They have seen how this program has been abused by law enforcement agencies and needs to be curtailed.
(BTW, the democrats are very predictable in opposing anything republicans do, no matter how rational it is).
This kind of shit belongs on DailyKos or Politico, but not on Slashdot.
Actually, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress would be great as a movie...
It's never lost a dime and in facts runs a profit, although as they say in the industry: past performance is no guarantee of future results. But FWIW the ExIm bank has been running a surplus since 1934.
So what about the 3 Billion in long term losses it had to reveal back in '87? Additionally, per the CBO, the ExIm will cost taxpayers about 2 billion over the next decade.
The simple fact is the US taxpayer need to stop subsidizing big business. (ironically, this is something occupiers and tea partiers agree on).
Elizabeth Warren is also in bed w/ the corps. Why else would she vote to continue the ExIm Bank (which is basically free money to a few large multinationals)?
So the dedicated traffic for LoL wont be allowed?
I guess West Coast players remain fucked.
And yet none of the current wireless chargers are as good as the ones for my Palm Pre (6 years ago). You didnt need a car mount with the pre charger...
Yet where would you build such a plant. The CA coast is filled with NIMBYS who wouldn't allow it.
And yet IRS has been used for political gain and private citizens tax information have been turned over political operatives. This was illegal under federal law, but still happened with no consequences.
What makes you think that this will not happen with private citizens medical info?
The problem is the progressives who brought us the attitude that a fetus is not a person are now contemplating that a baby is not a person until its a few years old.
Never ask two questions in a business letter. The reply will discuss the one you are least interested, and say nothing about the other.
