Pelosi: "pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it"

In a remark at the 2010 Legislative Conference for National Association of Counties, Nancy Pelosi urged the passage of the health care bill saying: “But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy. "

In other words, just pass it and THEN we'll open it up to see what's in it. Trust us!

This infuriates me to no end! They want to pass 2700 pages of laws and regulations yet they don't want to even read it, much less understand what is in it.

With the level of deafness in DC it will take a revolution to get their attention.

Yeah, I think that’s exactly what our Founding Fathers had in mind when they conceived the legislative process.

[Ben Mugged]

It’s what it does not how it does it.

Hey, Nancy...GFU!

“But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy."

She's truly insane (as if we couldn't see it in her face)!

There was so much in the Stimulus bill passed a year ago that had nothing to do with the stimulus that it will make you puke.

How much worse is this one.

[Marty62]

OH HELL NO!!!!!!!

[brownsfan]

Take a bite... it’s really chocolate pudding... we promise!

If the founding fathers were still around they would have thrown everyone of these jokers out of the country. Unfortunately we don’t have the stones to do it here.

You mean Butte, Montana really didn't need that 25 thousand dollar tennis court?

[Marty62]

and another thing.

Will these congress and Senate critters admit they are ready to vote on a bill they know NOTHING about. Time for some e-mails.

There’s “Dictatorship of the Proletariat” for you. They know what is best for us, Comrade. All hail the Communist Party!

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

WTF....PING!!!!

>> “But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy. “

Hate to break it to you, hon ... but passage will not end the controversy.

Damn ... Nazi Pelousy would have been right at home in the USSR ... or the Third Reich.

Perhaps we could trade her to the Peoples' Republic of China for a dozen minor league software engineers to be named later.

It’s simple, they know if they don’t get it done before easter recess than it won’t get done. Every time these representatives go home there is less support than the last time they visited.

[chuck_the_tv_out]

Isn’t this all so contrary to America as to require some kind of police/military intervention?

[driftdiver]

The HIPAA Hitech act was part of the ARRA bill (stimulus). part of the bill pays doctors to implement electronic health records. The schedule of payments goes out to 2014.

Butte might have needed the tennis court but they should have paid for it themselves.
