Obama Set to Release "Cyber Security Plan"

The White House is about to announce it Cyber Security plan. Which, in essence, allows the Government to regulate private businesses. Not only will this be an enormous cost to the private sector, but it will be completely useless. Although, I can see a bunch of consulting firms really lucking out on this one. (Remember SOX anyone? GLBA? HIPPA?). The only people benefiting from this are owners of consulting firms. Let's review the Government's track record on security from the last few years:
