Quoting the first comment at the WSJ site:

"In other words, when the first report comes out, the data will not be representative of past practices. Lawmakers can’t disclose their past expenditures truthfully without being embarrassed. Not only do they need time to make things look good, they also need to find other soruces of income to cover costs."

Don’t worry I am sure it wasn’t on purpose.

When do you think the Senate will post their expenses on line?...Answer....When Pigs Fly!

Barry’s Transparency and Open Government Ping!

Another matter that will come back to haunt Barry in 2012, among a host of others....

All animals are equal, but those with relatives in the US Congress,
are much more equal than others.

Apparently, we misunderstood ‘transparency’. When they say ‘transparent’, they mean their crimes and corruption will be transparent, not viewable.

Technologically this could have been done overnight. The key to remember is this: it takes no thought to tell the truth, it only takes thought to lie...

These people had better all be voted out.

What a bunch of useless bastards

The delay is no problem as long as no Congressional pay checks are issued until the promised info is posted online.

I wonder if this might work as a cure for some of this BS. Can we tie congressional pay to performance? You know they have a certain pay. Tie their wages to the budget, you go over you lose pay. If you do not start paying off the deficit, without extra “taxation revenue” again you lose pay!!

Gosh, I wonder why? Probably didn’t want to force someone to work in a week shortened by the observation of our nation’s birthday.

Folks, we have got to find a way to term limit that bunch. Please note that most if not all of the worst offenders are the ones that have been there three terms or longer ( much much longer for some)
An amendment to the Constitution is the only way and there is no way that I can think of to get such an amendment past the Congress.
And don't give me that crap about ‘you can vote them out’
No we cannot! Only the idiots in their districts can and they ain't gonna as long as their Congress Weasel keeps bring home the bacon.

articles on bonus payments and expense claims for luxury cars

Which will probably bear the descriptors "Monetary Adjustments" and "Travel Expenses" in the online reporting system.

[DUMBGRUNT]

“in a statement Thursday that “several security and support issues” had been identified that would delay the Internet publication of the claims.”

After seeing how the voters in Great Britain responded to publication of expenses, ‘job security and voter support’ are where it’s at.
