Not completely surprised but some of it is kind of crazy!

Why are we funding the U.S Cyber Command? What is their role?

We should have a ton of honey pots so that we can learn the attack vectors and build protection mechanisms that prevent this crap from happening. I bet the security I have on my comuter, network, website and blog is better than what the damn feds have.

Hmmmm. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Cyber_Command#Concerns

This is why we had an intelligence failure on 9/11 because idiot feds didn't coordinate. We have 17 known intelligence agencies. What do we need all these agencies for?

Shocking. Who would have thought a sham organization is only good for siphoning money from the taxpayers. If people want protection, they need to do it themselves, or hire a competent specialist. It'll never come from government aside from physical(armed) security, which only big money can buy. Even that's been abused by bad actors playing on people's fears, backed money that stands to make more money.

Hell, the feds couldn't even get a health care website running. And they payed all that money. They could have hired a MIT geek for a million and had a flawless website. Leave it to the feds.
