"Reading Legislation Laughable"

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) seems to think the whole idea of legislators actually READING legislation before they pass it into law laughable. “Seems like some political officials in Congress view their responsibility as stewards of American taxpayer money and future, as not significant enough to warrant their 100 per cent attention.” They think if the staff reads it and tells them what’s in it, that’s good enough. So now our laws are being dictated not by elected legislators, but by their paid assistants, none of whom are elected. (The Quipster)
