These guys amaze me. They think that it is perfectly acceptable to vote on and impose legislation on us that they don't understand. Sure they work on it in plain language. Great. Then it gets converted into some obviously foreign language called "legislative". Since they can't understand it they have to take on faith that it has been interpreted correctly, that nothing has been added or subtracted from their plain English version. Sheesh!! I want this job. No accountability, no responsibility, just free stuff everywhere you turn.
"Sen. Thomas Carper (D.-Del.), a member of the Senate Finance Committee, told CNSNews.com that he does not “expect” to read the actual legislative language of the committee’s health care bill because it is “confusing” and that anyone who claims they are going to read it and understand it is fooling people.
“I don’t expect to actually read the legislative language because reading the legislative language is among the more confusing things I’ve ever read in my life,” Carper told CNSNews.com."
haha I LOVED reading about this... What do we pay them for anyways? Can we hire people who CAN read and understand the bills if they aren't able to do their jobs?
I'd love to walk into work tomorrow morning and tell my boss that my job is too hard to understand and I can't read things I'm supposed to... and still have a job in the afternoon.
And to the comment that any "average" person who claims they have read the bill is not telling the truth - B.S.! Many of us have - it took a long time and yeah it was difficult to try and figure out what they meant... but we did it.
"Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that the antichrist was coming, so now many antichrists have appeared. Thus we know this is the last hour. They went out from us, but they were not really of our number; if they had been, they would have remained with us. Their desertion shows that none of them was of our number. But you have the anointing that comes from the Holy One, and you all have knowledge. I write to you not because you do not know the truth but because you do, and because every lie is alien to the truth."
1st John 2:18-21
“The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who in times of great moral crises maintain their neutrality”
Dante Alighieri
“Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.”
John Quincy Adams
“Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force; like fire, a troublesome servant and a fearful master. Never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action.”
George Washington
“If once the people become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, Judges and Governors, shall all become wolves. It seems to be the law of our general nature, in spite of individual exceptions.”
Thomas Jefferson
" I come from a state that raises corn and cotton and cockleburs and Democrats, and frothy eloquence neither convinces nor satisfies me. I am from Missouri. You have got to show me."
Willard Duncan Vandiver
"The issue is, to use a sporting metaphor, whether in the game of life the government shall captain the national team or shall act as referee."
