Man this country is FULL of gullible people.
The internet has been global since 1991. In 30 years how many times have "other countries" cyber attacked the U.S. just because they could? Suddenly, we need to spend billions upon billions of dollars because "other countries" just happened to attack things that directly affect U.S. citizens... Water - Oil - Meat.
Are we to believe that in 30 years the U.S. government has not known of the potential for cyber attacks and planned accordingly to prevent them? Not over the span of 30 years have they been smart enough to do that but we are to believe that NOW they have suddenly become so smart that we should let the government spend billions upon billions of dollars for cyber security??? Really???
Should the government be making Bill Gates answer for this as over 70% of the WORLDS computers use a Windows based operating system? I bet he uses a Mac.
