Actually, it’s a representative republic, Al, you stupid, fat bastard.
And what has been “hacked” is the US federal government, and it has been done by communists such as yourself.
There are a lot of new things that govt could do with technology...like using data mining to uncover Medicare/Medicaid fraud. Use data to track visas and exits of foreigners visiting the US. Social Security info to identify illegals for deportation. The list goes on..but they won’t do these things which could really make a difference.
