Any American who wants to do ANY business with China or India is a fool.

Next with the personal info for 4 million gov employees

I heard the other day that the 4M number they floated was a totally unrealistic low-ball. It could well be many 10s of millions of current & former government employees. A reporter stated that a FORMER congressional staffer who has been out of government employ for nearly a decade received notice from the government notifying him that his records were stolen.

Yup. Let that sink in, folks. Your tax dollars went to PAYING the Chinese to steal your info.

Check out article and comments, esp # 9.

Ah, but we have to have TPP and RIAA to prevent people from stealing copyrights...

Give me a break, China is big on bootleg and selling information.

No, we don’t vote for this. An entire machine has been built on lies, corruption, the media, propaganda, Marxist theory, and trillions of dollars manufactured out of thin air. Voting is just Kabuki theater allowing the masses to feel as if they have a degree of control.

Part of that depends on how far back the records pull goes - if it is 20 years, then yes, easily 4 million current federal employees, several times that for military and defense contractors.

You ain’t protected.

If it's true on the civilian side, you can bet the same or much worse is true on the military side as well.

For example, I wonder how much of the code for the F-35's design and avionics and sensor integration hasn't been copied by now.

Or the aircraft designs as well as the command and control software for the new all-drone air force they're building?

But hey, why worry? I'm sure it will all work when the time comes, right? It always has before.

In fact, I think I need a new perspective. I quit buying Toshiba products for their doing much less than what our own GuvCo now facilitates, contracts out for and then ignores here at home.

Times have changed and so has the quality of our grifter politicians.

At least the Clintons got campaign donations for the stuff they let get away.

What did obama get other than the satisfaction?
