Washington Monument Syndrome

"Washington Monument Syndrome" is a political tactic used in the United States by government agencies when faced with budget cuts or a government shutdown. The tactic entails cutting the most visible or appreciated service provided by the government, from popular services such as national parks and libraries to valued public employees such as teachers and firefighters. This is done to gain support for tax increases that the public would otherwise be against. The name derives from the National Park Service's alleged habit of saying that any cuts would lead to an immediate closure of the wildly popular Washington Monument. (source)

A Welcome Debate?

In light of recent events such as the trial of Bradley Manning and revelations about the PRISM and XKEYSCORE programs, an inescapable problem exists with federal government officials who claim they "welcome a debate" about the role of NSA surveillance.

U.S. government will keep spying on you, thanks.

Congressman Justin Amash (R-MI) proposed an amendment to prevent the NSA from collecting phone and data records on Americans without first being subject to a court-authorized investigation. It was narrowly defeated (205 - 217), thanks largely to other Republicans who pretend to oppose "big government."
