why is a lending institution allowed to invade your privacy in an effort to ensure you are a viable candidate for a loan, but the government is not allowed to invade your privacy in an effort to ensure you are a viable candidate for welfare?
Well, there are several reasons I suppose I could bring up. But the simplest, and probably most relevant, is that private companies are not the government. The constitution protects you from government abuses. But my 1st amendment rights don't necessarily shield me from being fired from my intro gig on Monday Night Football for saying something the boss don't like.
