But hey, more data mining, more consolidation of erstwhile private information by the state, more centralization of society through federal agencies and a runaway, post-Constitutional federal government = Utopia. Because they say so, is why. Consider this another one of those minor bumps in the road to leftist paradise.  Which, if you use stimulus money wisely, can pave right over the bones of dead liberty without even leaving a trace.
