TRANSPARENCY WASHINGTON STYLE

The U.S. Constitution, including Amendments, was written on 4 pages of parchment paper.

The Glass Steagall Act, which kept the Wall Street banks from destroying our economic system until it was repealed in 1999, was 37 pages long.

Why would a Federal Highway Bill possibly require 1,030 pages, unless it is a bloated, bribe filled, corrupt, taxpayer screwing, $350 billion legislative abortion?

These bills are written by corporate lobbyists, unread by your Congress critters, and passed with absolutely no transparency or vetting with the citizens.

Keep voting. I’m sure that will change things.
