Hidden--
 
It was reported this morning that hidden in the 1700 page "Stimulus" bill is monies available for Fed Health Care issues.
How can any person ,except the ones who wrote it ,really know everything that is in there and vote on it until they do?

Imho, this is not transparency and is at least disingenuous as Health Care needs to be openly debated as a separate issue.

They have thrown everything but the kitchen sink in this one.

It's very similar to the practice of "pushing" a bill quickly through congress because if ANYONE were to have time to read it, they'd see all the crap that is being added in for someone's little "wet-dream" projects.

As they have been saying: "We have to do something!"

Unfortunately doing something, like doing anything is just plain idiotic.
I could try putting out a fire by dousing it with rubbing alcohol, and I would say that I did "something"!

We, as a nation, are totally screwed by these self-righteous, self-serving POS's on capital hill. Their policies are that if they can't get what they want FIRST, then screw the rest of them!

We need to "clean house" and start over again, because like the addage goes: "One bad apple will spoil the whole bushel".
