A Whole Year We Have Been Waiting

"When the public sees what is in this bill...when we show them what the priorities are and what it's been boiled down to, what it means to them sitting around their kitchen table rather than us sitting around a table at Blair House, the response will be positive," Pelosi said.

I told myself that I would try to stick to one post a day, but who is reading this anyways?

"When the public sees what is in this bill”

On what planet does she live on?


The Democrats and the President campaigned on openness and transparency. Now a year later we still don’t know what is in the bill!!!! Are we supposed to wait until it is signed into law to find out? This just shows the arrogance that is rampant in the Senate and the House.

I love using analogies so here one goes. (Not a true story)

A father or mother decides to buy their child a pet kitten for Christmas. This is nice because the child has wanted a pet kitten for quite some time. So the parent goes to the local pet store, and with the help of the knowledgeable employees one is picked out. The parent is so excited because, due to financial constraints, he/she has not been able to get their child the pet that they have wanted for years. He/She gets home places it in a decorated box, with air holes of course, and summons the child to see the present they have brought. After many years of waiting the child, with a huge smile, opens the box only to find a skunk staring back at her.

Good intentions do not always deliver good results.


What would have been better? Taking the child to the store so they could pick out the kitten they want/like, or keeping it a secret until Christmas day only to find out that you were WAY off course.

"When the public sees what is in this bill”
Please……….

We HAVE been waiting to see what is in the bill. This has gone on for a YEAR now…

The time is now to place the cards on the table to see if you have a winner, loser or have just been bluffing this whole time????
