Scorecard for Obama's NSA reforms

You’re correct. There’s no “metric” of success or failure for this. Not a public one that people could understand, or that wouldn’t shift each time a politician opens their mouth. At companies, or even in most households, there’s a basic utility metric that anyone spending money uses whether to judge if the expenditure met expectations. Like, a really basic ROI economic concept. With all these billions and trillions spent on all this high-tech spyocratic bullshitography, there hasn’t been any talk EVER of a real, tangible, measurable utility. It’s never even crossed their minds.
