Do you think it will stop with contractors? It will go after big business, then small, then consumers (citizens).... No different than "papers please .."

If businesses are complying then consumers pretty much have to. But really what is the problem with paying for the resources you use? Why is stealing from others free?

First off, this is coming from the exec branch; legislation should only come from Congress. Second, this is only adding "paperwork" to the burden off business; there is no value added. Third, the data will most certainly be misused for punitive reasons regardless of truth or good intent.
