Various riders and amendments to some of the bills they push through are not related to the issue at hand. This sort of back door approach has been practiced for ages, by both political parties, and is a major reason why much of the citizenry is fed up with the political sphere. .-= Matt Keegan´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.sayeducate.com/2009/08/01/weekly-fun-and-living-tips-11/" rel="nofollow">Weekly “Fun and Living” Tips</a> =-.

Not only should Congress be required to read the legislation they are voting on, but they should also stop packing each bill with completely unrelated amendments. Some of the items that are stuck together defy all notion of common sense. Good article, Matt.

Keegan Fri, 31 Jul 2009 16:37:38 +0000 http://www.matthewkeegan.com/?p=1601#comment-6908 Vlad, this president is a disaster for our country. We're seeing socialism unfold before our eyes and many Americans are blind to this. The $787 billion bail out package wasn't enough for this president. Now, he wants to shove down our throats what will soon become a multi-trillion dollar health plan. What's more, that plan will contain an abortion provision, limit our choices of doctors, quash medical research and ration care. Obama doesn't bring me the right kind of change that I can live with.

Obama doesn’t bring me the right kind of change that I can live with.

I really hope Obama would actually try socialized medicine himself. But I bet that he or our elected officials have the best health care plans out there. I truly hope the health care in this country will not end up in the place where the health care of the former Soviet Union is now- believe me you don't want that kind of health care. What amazes me is that there is still no clear answer on who in the end will swallow the bill for this Obama-Care reform. I am afraid it is you and I. It is however disturbing that Obamas reform may provide a loophole where my and your money may be used for an aborion and but a health care be denied for some one that really needs it. As far as our politicians go, they do not care unless they faced with loosing their jobs. Why are we voting them in year after year??? .-= Vlad Zablotskyy´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/GoBeyondMls/~3/hJqadWv90ew/" rel="nofollow">Google Local Business Center Now Offers Reports and Statistics</a> =-.

I hope that Congress has a nice rest too; maybe some members will return to Washington, DC in September sufficiently chastened for scaring the American people!
