Chinese hackers are rooting through Congress’ computers looking for information about Chinese dissidents and probably anything else that might be of interest, reports the AP.

Multiple congressional computers have been hacked by people working from inside China, lawmakers said Wednesday, suggesting the Chinese were seeking lists of dissidents.

Let’s hope not too many government secrets were compromised.

Bloomberg columnist Kevin Hassett says now is the time to tame the beast and cap all government spending before our government porks out so much it ends up crushing us with its uncontrolled budget obesity.

This is important to bear in mind as we move forward to the general election. We don’t have a deficit because of Iraq, or the tax cuts, or the drug benefit. We have a deficit because the government grew fat. We can’t fix that with tax increases. Uncle Sam must go on a diet.

A simple way to start would be this: Whoever is elected president this November should pledge that he or she won’t spend $1 more than we currently plan to. If Bush had done that seven years ago, we would be in a different world.

Anyone listening in Lake County?
