Big Emergency, Big Swindle
"The big story last week was the incredible congressional rush to pass a bill that was more than a thousand pages long in just two days — after which it sat on the president's desk for three days while the Obamas were away on a holiday." (Investor's Business Daily) That’s how Obama swindled this country out of almost a trillion DOLLARS. He released the 1,100 page bill the night before the vote was scheduled, then INSISTED they vote without having read it. So what’s the difference: they do that all the time. I doubt our legislators read ANY of the bills they vote into law which means the only people who know what’s in it are those who snuck their own “wishes” (that they couldn’t get approved any other way) into the bill, just before it was printed and released; or after. We need a law forcing the legislators to READ the bills they vote in or be impeached. But don’t look for that to happen any time soon, because that would be forcing THEMSELVES to read the bills they pass. As with banning pay raise bills when we’re in money trouble, they’re not going to do it. (IBD Editorials)
