The gov't says they need total phone surveillance to watch for terrorists, but can't seem to keep a flood of criminals from using the same phone line to say they are from the IRS and still billions from our elderly. How can they protect me from a terrorist if they can't protect my mom from a scammer?
- selestify 8y agoThey don't really care to protect your mom from a scammer. They probably could if they really wanted to, they just don't care to. I mean they cracked down on the mafia, RICO and all that. You really think they can't nab a few phone scammers?
- mijamo 8y agoLast time I checked there the war on drugs was lost and criminal activities are doing pretty good in the US. But I agree nonetheless that this kind of activity is certainly at the very bottom of their preoccupation. It even surprises me because elderly are good voters so it should be politically beneficial to solve their problem, especially when it's something as simple and non-partisan as this. It seems so easy to just say "We protect our elderly and jail the awful criminals to abuse them" and just do it and win some nice popular vote for a super small cost, seems weird that it does not happen.
