Rand Paul Suspects NSA Collects Credit Card Records

Does the National Security Agency collect the credit card statements of every American? Sen. Rand Paul thinks so.

"I think these records include your phone records, I think they include your text messages, your emails -- and, I think, in all likelihood, they're probably collecting your credit card statements as well," the Kentucky Republican said during a C-SPAN "Newsmakers" interview that aired Sunday. "I don't know all of that. Some of these allegations have been made in the media."

Uncertainty notwithstanding, Paul dwelled on the subject of NSA credit card record collection. "Think about your credit card records, and I tell people all the time, think about what people can know about you that might be on your Visa bill," he said, before listing information such as book purchases and psychiatric treatment. "I really think that's personal information, and unless you are specifically named on a warrant, nobody should be looking at that."

They collect EVERYTHING. And if you don't shut up, they will "collect" you, too. In a street robbery, a plane crash, a fatal burglary, a "heart attack", a rape and murder, etc. Never any suspects and always "unsolved".
All at once once now --- "USA! USA! USA!".
Thomas Jefferson and John Adams are crying in heaven over what we have ALLOWED ourselves to be led into....allowed, people. Allowed! Register all your weapons and.....cheer like you never have before. If THAT is possible.
