Hiding the Sausage

Media Alert! Jim Babka will appear on the Liberty Roundtable tomorrow morning. See the blog for details.

Quote of the Day: “Laws are like sausages, it is better not to see them being made.” — Otto von Bismarck, 1st Chancellor of the German Empire (1815-1898)

Subject: Why the rush? What was hidden in the Scam (Stimulus) Bill?

I made my regular appearance on Straight Talk with Jerry Hughes on Friday. He asked me about the scam (stimulus) bill,  saying, “What’s the point of fighting? It seems like there’s no way to stop them when they’re determined to ignore us.” Perhaps you’ve had similar doubts.

I pointed Jerry to our recently updated list of victories. Congress doesn’t always ignore us. They’ve voted our way 17 plus times since 2006.

But a more important clue to the fact that Congress cares what YOU think is the way they rushed to pass the scam (stimulus) bill. 

THEY WERE AFRAID OF PUBLIC OPINION. They knew that the more the public read the bill the greater the opposition would be. Congress and the President were so scared of what YOU think that they violated numerous promises in their rush to make the scam (stimulus) bill a “done deal.”

* President Obama promised the most open, transparent administration in history. He pledged to not sign bills that hadn’t been posted online for the public to read for at least five days BEFORE the final vote was cast.

* Speaker Nancy Pelosi, just a week ago, promised that the final version of the scam (stimulus) bill would be posted online for at least 48 hours before the vote.

Here’s what they did instead . . .

* The 1,073 page scam bill, with an extra 421 page Explanatory Statement, was delivered, still unfinished, at midnight Thursday.
* The House passed the bill 14 hours and 24 minutes later.
* The Senate did likewise 3 hours and 5 minutes after the House.

We may laugh at Bismarck’s line about legislation and sausage, but Bismarck was a famed practitioner of realpolitick, where the practical concerns of power trump principle. Make no mistake about it . . .

Obama, Pelosi, and Senate Majority Leader Reid were practicing power politics. They didn’t want you to see the sausage. They knew that the more people saw the sausage the more they would hate it, so they had to move fast.

The Republicans, on the other hand, were suddenly indignant that no one had time to read the bill in advance, even though they spent their 14 years in power doing the same thing. The failure to read the bill was the GOP’s number one talking point in the final 24 hours.

They got that talking point from us! They got it from YOU!

Here are some links so YOU CAN READ THE BILL for yourself . . .

* Text of the Conference Report – Division A
* Text of the Conference Report – Division B
* Joint Explanatory Statement – Division A
* Joint Explanatory Statement – Division B

Scroll through these pdf files and you’ll see that the bill is filled with . . .

* Hand-written copy-editing,
* Insertions scrawled in the margins,
* Typographical deletions of whole paragraphs, 
* And a variety of curious hash marks and other annotations.

Congressional leaders were so SCARED of the growing public opposition that they couldn’t even take the time to type the changes into a laptop! 

But now, at least, we’ll finally get to learn the ingredients of this particular sausage. Think-tank scholars will read the bits that relate to their expertize and tell us about the toxic ingredients.

As the details ooze out, the President and Congressional Democrats will look very slimy. Their dire warnings about the need for speed to save the economy will ring hollow. They’ll lose credibility, and future legislation will be harder to pass.

We intend to stoke the public’s growing distrust into an inferno, starting today. The action item for today is a “Thank or Spank” message.

Your message will go to both your Representative and your two Senators. Tell them, in front of each other, what you think of their vote — thank or spank them. Remember, these people work for you!

Here’s how I “personalized” my note to my delegation,

“Sherrod Brown was flown into town, at my expense (as a taxpayer), to cast the final and most necessary vote to pass this huge, un-read, boondoggle bill that rips-off both me and my children. That offends me. It’s like being asked to buy the club with which you intend to beat me.

“I also protest Ms. Sutton’s support of this bill and applaud Mr. Voinovich for voting no.

“November 2010 may seem far away, and the Republicans may yet offend me again, as they have in the past, but I’m going to remember that the Republicans were on the right side in this vote, and the Democrats almost entirely in the wrong.” [END of letter]

Please look below my signature to see how your elected representatives voted, and then thank or spank them.

Urge others to do the same by forwarding this Dispatch to others, and by Digging it on our blog.

Thanks for being part of the growing Downsize DC Army,
