What Are They Trying To Hide?
The most transparent Congress evah does not want to put the bills it votes on online 3 days before a vote. Especially not the health care bill. Senate Finance Committee Democrats have rejected a GOP amendment that would have required a health overhaul bill to be available online for 72 hours before the committee votes.Three days equals weeks? That seems a bit math challenged to me. Considering how hard it is for some Democrats to figure out their taxes why am I not surprised?

Three days equals three weeks because the moment Joe and Jane citizen read this piece of crap, the phones on Capitol Hill will melt down with calls. It'll take congress weeks just to blow everyone off. Patrick in Des Moines · September 23, 2009 02:28 PM I certainly hope that the Repb run good candidates next yr. The campaign ads are writing themselves right now. LYNNDH · September 23, 2009 02:38 PM I assume that it is easier to get people to vote for something they know nothing about, than for the bills presently being presented. Hugh · September 23, 2009 05:27 PM 3 days translates into weeks because they *can* vote on it before it's written, but if they put something up on the web then they have to vote on *that* exact bill. And the critical thing when pulling one over on someone is to do it quickly. Billy Oblivion · September 24, 2009 11:33 AM A note on House action at my place. Seems the Tea Party guys did have effect, regardless of what those in the MSM may have reported. OregonGuy · September 24, 2009 12:29 PM Yes. Do visit Oregon Guy and look at what he says: M. Simon · September 24, 2009 01:03 PM It doesn't matter. 1000 pages of bill is like 1000 pages of patches to the hundreds of thousands of pages of other laws and regulations. To do the testing and code walk-throughs would take forever--or at any rate more than a Congressional term. So they seem to be of the "Just cross your fingers and run it" school. Applied to health care, this gives new meaning to "Blue Screen of Death." James · September 25, 2009 10:16 AM pandemonium steadfast reply bent slat?.

This is far to important to discuss or debate. It's far too important to even think about. Vote now now NOW NOW!!!!
As usual when Congress, or whomever is driving, decides an issue MUST BE DEALT WITH, my predilection is that they all shut up and do nothing, since they nearly always make a major problem get worse.
