OPEN POLICY?

Obama promised us he'd put an end to the Bush policy of supporting lengthy, secretive bills. He said he'd give the American people several days to know, understand, and be able to react to bills passed in Congress.



He broke that promise with his first bill, the 500 page long, $800 billion "Stimulus" package. Only five copies were available to Congress, and only the night before the vote. I was a top 1% percentile speed-reader in high school, but that would've still been a real challenge.



This is no different than previous secretive bills like the Patriot Act and NAFTA. The more things change, the more things stay the same.
