I guess Congress doesn't have to read what they vote for or against, because they aren't paying for it, we are.

how can these people pass any legislation that they haven’t fully read?

This is why they say that sausage and legislation are two things you don't want to see while they're being made. Trouble is, we really NEED to see what's going on with this legislation. Thank you, MM and others who are giving us the specifics. Hoo-boy! This is why they say that sausage and legislation are two things you don’t want to see while they’re being made.

According to an expert, one of the tips that it was fraud was the hook of urgency -"you must decide right NOW to receive this great deal". Then today the President says- If you don't pass this NOW,we may NEVER recover. Scam artists come in all sizes. Porkulus, Spendulous, Scamulus, it must die.

The vision of Americans and strong and independent people is quickly fading into the past. Too many people are ignorant of history and the Constitution and want something for nothing. My eldest son (22) asked me how we could reverse the socialism we're headed towards. I told him that we would have to have a revolution, there would be no other way to wrest power from the socialists. pork = bribes for people who vote but don’t pay taxes.
