What does it portent when a 1500+ page bill passes that no one has read? And when the bill contains a 310 page amendment with language about the "central procurement state" that was added hours before the vote, and whose language is confusing to the nth degree? This bill is quite possibly the largest indirect tax increase ever passed, and yet passed it did. Without those who passed it being fully aware of its contents.
The impetus for jamming this bill through was to save us all from the "impending doom" of anthropological global warming. A doom whose scientific basis is shaky at best, but which provides an excellent club in forcing "wealth redistribution" by crippling an already troubled economy.
Is jamming bills through congress without anyone having read them really what the framers of the Constitution intended? Is this what we can expect with forthcoming health care legislation?
We the voters need to hold these legislators accountable. Any member of the house who voted for this bill should be voted out of office post haste. How can they represent anything but ideology and special interests when they vote for a massive bill without knowing its contents?
It is up to the constituents of the legislators to remove them from congress. Business as usual should not be allowed to continue.
