Unfortunately, the financial provisions that were on the police state wish list since day one and opportunistically trotted out on 9/12 don't expire. Only a repeal of the permanent provisions will get rid of them. Don't hold your breath.

I'm not holding my breath, but I do think it's worth expressing my opinions in public -- and I appreciate your willingness to do the same thing. I want to go on record as saying that I think the PA is well-intentioned but will establish too much state power. We need to control immigration, reestablish our second amendment protections, cut (altogether) any funding to universities that teach anti-Americanism and Marxism, defund our Islamic "allies," and eliminate trade with China. These things would go much further in protecting American security than spying on the American people themselves.
