Senator Chris Coons: "What matters is that the US government has information about you, about me, our social security information, our Medicare, Medicaid, veterans benefit payments...things that matter to us, obviously our tax filings"

Yes, all that is true, but my first reaction is: Where was all this energy when personal tax returns were illegally leaked to Propublica? Maybe the government shouldn't have this data in the first place if neither party can be trusted not to leak it when the political tides inevitably turn.

Government data handling needs stricter regulations
