>>>>From the creators of the PPACA and the minds that brought you PRISM, in association with the overseers of the VA, in conjunction with "one" of the big 3 credit agencies and the federal agencies which fueled the recent housing crisis which nearly bankrupted the world, comes the latest in un-mandated catch-all quesionably secured databases. This one will track your entire life via your personal credit history. Forget what you've heard (Jan 28) about "no personal identifiers", this DB will have it all!

>>>The data exists and is used.
>>Yes, the data exists, in the closely guarded databases of multiple credit agencies whose reputation and business depend on privacy, security and proprietary methods of obtaining, disseminating and challenging credit data. The data has a purpose which individuals and businesses agree is beneficial. The purpose of the FHFA's database is what exactly?

>the one (european ones normaly) that point to the U.S. in such moments just distract from there own doings. U.S. is just the biggest fish in that pond but not the only one.
>That with the freedom is overvalued. See for example http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_G%C3%B6del#Relocation_to_Princeton.2C_Einstein_and_US_citizenship about what the U.S. constitution is realy worth. Again, german Grundgesetz has the same flaws (The unchangeable articles are declared unchangeable in an article that is changable. HA!).
