Congress and the Administration have been playing with our emotions. That is changing.
Going back to President Bush, it was pass the TARP - don't worry about what's in it, we just need it. It's an emergency.
Then Obama gets a TARP, Stimulus, Omnibus, and Cap and Trade (House only) passed due to the emergency nature of them. They couldn't be read - there wasn't time. They couldn't be discussed - wasn't time. Just get them passed - we'll sort it out later.
Well, that was then, This is now.
Rahm Emanuel has vowed to continue this ramrod approach and get the Health-Care bill passed before the August recess.
America, awake.
We are being manipulated.
We have committed all this money and spent very little of it. We have lost jobs at a dramatic rate. Nothing is an emergency all the time. Remember the little boy who cried "wolf"?
How about a time-out? A cooling off period? A requirement to read the bills - every page of them, sign off that such has been done, and then discuss them - and get around to considering them maybe in a year or two? There's really no hurry.
The only real hurry is that the more the bills are analyzed and more the public becomes aware of what is in them, the more people will not like what's in them. Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Hoyer, and other leaders have essentially said so.
