Have you read the details about our new vulnerability?

Last week our national cybersecurity was put under greater risk with that impulsive firing. We are now more vulnerable to our enemies who would love a bloodless -- and cheap -- war that would collapse us. Not just our money, as it floats around in cyberspace, but our electricity and water, the grid, all the normal things we take for granted. I never used to think much about our country's cybersecurity. I figured brainiacs somewhere in our government had it under control, no matter who was in office. Now? Oh my, yes. I am worried.

Btw, If you remember that Oldsmobile ad, then you also remember what happened to Oldsmobile.......

I especially agree with the 1st part - that this mess will continue to tear apart the economy. Then like "Humpty Dumpty" it will take a long time to put it back together.......if ever.
