The talks can be “private”, except, the American people don’t want it that way this time.
We are a self-governing people who elect representatives to do what we want done.
This time, we don’t want private or secret. That’s our right.
Nothing out of line with that argument. And you are correct - this is the people’s business and the people have a right to know.
We also had a right to know with 0bamacare. We’re still paying for it.
