HOW TO PLAY THE CONGRESSIONAL BLAME GAME

SPECIAL POST

This is how Congress thinks: We all know that they did not read their coveted "Stimulus" Bill before they voted for it. By this method, they are protected if the wheels come off, as they surely will. I can hear them now.... "Don't blame ME! It was such a rush to get the Bill passed that I didn't have a chance to read it!"


It's too damned bad...there ARE some good provisions in the Bill and the Republicans had a few good ideas to add, and surely more good ideas would evolve if they had been a little more deliberate. They COULD have enacted the good parts and deliberated on the rest, but they chose to shove it to us.

The plain fact is that Congress has NEVER passed rushed legislation that turned out to be good or to accomplish what it was intended to. Unfortunately, they've used the same excuse over and over again...."It was so urgent, I didn't have a chance to read it before the vote."
