Dodd: No one will know until this is actually in place how it works

Where did we hear that refrain before? (Bummercare)

[Mere Survival]

These freaks are so used to not knowing what is in a bill or understanding it that they just talk about it openly as if we all understand.

[Celerity]

Deem it passed ! Democracy works again !

Oh wait...

[RedCell]

Never let a good crisis go to waste, eh?

[TheWriterTX]

Good Heavens.

Financial reform, Obamacare style.

Hang onto your wallets, folks! This is going to hurt!

[thethirddegree]

This is one of the reasons we have to clean out the latrine that is Congress in November. Then we need to harass the former members in their private lives down to their graves for the harm they have inflicted on our country.

[NormsRevenge]

The Dems and This Nation’s Epitath.

VeeP ‘Bite Me!’ Agrees!

[farmguy]

If this is how congress is passing laws, who the heck is running the country?

[dead]

No one will know until this is actually in place how it works. But we believe we've done something that has been needed for a long time.

It's like having your doctor skip the diagnosis part and just start removing and adding organs to you, while kicking your dog and emptying your bank account.

This is getting ridiculous, there has to be a way to stop these people from legislating... without even the ability to tell us what they passed.

We must find a way to demand they read and understand what they pass.

As Obama says— this is unsustainable!

We can no longer allow this.

Thats what they said when they installed the oil well blow-out emergency shut off in the Gulf.

My theory:
A giant supercomputer is fed the current body of US law, including the Tax Code, and given several “keyword”/parameters. It churns and burns, taking sniplets and phrases from all over the law and assembling them together, and out pops a new, multi-hundred/-thousand page bill for Congress to sign.

This is why the only way to find out what is in the bill is to pass it and see what happens.

You can find out how it works after it passes. I feel like Alice in Wonderland.

[WHBates]

I am so sick of these people.

[archivist007]

Is this a a big bleeping deal according to the Veep?

[HiTech RedNeck]

This was the same device that is commonly used in shallow water oil drilling. It just was an extraordinarily bad place for it to go kaput when it was needed.

[grey_whiskers]

Not quite *SNIFF* as he is not a n00b, but all the same, please re-read post #9 this thread.

Cheers!
