I suppose my sarcasm was hard to read without proper quotes
Don’t worry, I got your tone and my comment wasn’t entirely serious either. I’m sure they would say this is for the benefit of Americans in general (or hey, the free world - why not), but there are more obvious beneficiaries of big government than the general population. I don’t think it’s some great conspiracy at work, but the head of the NSA probably wouldn’t say no to seeing the NSA’s powers and budget increase. Any information they find out about national or international banks wouldn’t be shared with us in any case, so while theoretically it could be used to benefit Americans through an appropriate response to financial irregularities, I don’t think they will see much of a difference in practice.
