And BTW, it's their JOB to read these bills. We don't pay them to make stupid remarks on television. There is no single bill to be read right now. As I understand it, there are are at least 3 committees, each with a different version. They have staff who are familiar with every word and nothing is hidden. They do have all day to read things. |

The people have let the congress and lawmakers be lazy ****s for ever. Earmarks and 'special interests' are the scourge of American politics. Hopefully understanding what is put out will be a new trend in American politics, with out politicians. To much 'nothing' from most politicans for too long. It has long been far far past the breaking point. I see in your future a freeway overpass and "breaking news"... |

In the Jackson,Mississippi Legislature, I have NO Doubt at all they read
every single word of any and all bills. A lot of times I listen to local radio talk shows when the radio talk show host and people who phone in are talking about those bills. cuhulin |

Now you want our government to become elitist, when the Constitution was written it was plan text that we all could understand. It had to be to be ratified and accepted by the people. We do not live in a direct democracy and most of us do not want to live in a direct democracy. We elect REPRESENTATIVES as our AGENTS who have a responsibility to act in our best interests. Those representatives will organize the legislative process so as to accomplish the true aim of representation. That is part of the job they have before them. We the people WANT to be informed on particular acts of legislation and this health reform legislation is one of those situations. We want the representatives and the people to know what is in any bill that would accomplish health care reform of any kind. The focus on "read" the bill is whacky just as you have indicated. The legalese is not "plain talk" and cannot be "plain talk" if it is to be supported in the courts. Understanding what is in the bill does not require a diploma in legalese. It requires a LEGAL staff that is true to the representative and a representative that is true to his/her constituency. what is in the bill in the committees. The market up version is then ready for debate and amendment. The knowledge of what is in the version "reported out" of the committee and of all the proposed amendments are the responsibility of the caucus that will assign different staff members and House members to each such task in order to produce a more intelligible shorter version of the legalese. -- "Those are my opinions and you can't have em" -- Bart Simpson |
