B.O. , before obama there were line items that were not public.
The CIA budget was never public, and buried deep in other bills.
Also the fun bits, where the first letter in each word would spell a ‘name’, or something of interest.
When did this secret shiite stuff come around?
Yeah, classified stuff for “national security” purposes has been around for a long time, but this habit of secrecy in legislation, treaties, and stuff like that seems to have started with Obama, or at least kicked in to high gear at that point. I can’t remember anything major like that before the secret Obamacare negotiations, and secret meetings with executives planning the bailouts.
