Obama Stimulus Pours Millions Into Cyber Security

Posted by CmdrTaco on Monday March 2, 2009 @03:48AM from the because-they-need-it dept.

nandemoari writes "As his administration continues to work on a stimulus plan that can save America's economy, Obama's latest course of action will see millions of dollars being allocated to heighten cyber security. The move will assist government officials in preventing future attacks on the United States. The President recently addressed his 2010 budget, outlining funding plans that will grant the Department of Homeland Security $355 million to secure the nation's most essential computer systems. The money will be spent on both government and private groups, with much of the funding going to the National Cyber Security Division and the Comprehensive National Cyber Security Initiative programs."

As with yesterday's story we now begin to see the reality of the 'stimulus bill' - endless pork, pandering to special interests, and earmarks.
Ironically, I prefer the smell of real swine to this shit. Pig shit I can stand. Political shit is just nasty.
