From the standpoint of transparency, that’s completely backwards. *

==============================

I notice when republicans take less and increase the debts . . . it's an abomination. When democrats increase the debt with entitlements . . . not a whimper about it.

I also see that transparency is the new buzzword . . . which won't matter one bit the next time dems are in power and attempting to jam another "abomination" down our throats.

The entangled interests are such that this is the new normal . . . all the legislative gifts and gimmiks are laid bare in a tax bill . . . High tax states writing off their tax on fed . . . oh boy . .. do away with that and low tax states benefit . .. and what about mortgage deductions, child deductions . . .

the social engineering has reached critical mass . . . you can expect this to be the new normal as long as both chambers are close to 50/50. No change anywhere can not but phuck some party . . . the web is set, a prick here and there rattles spiders.

Bottom line: Congress has this power. They wielded it constitutionally. It's stupid. It's partisan. It's not going to help the country as a whole. But don't hold your breath for a bill that will . . . from either side.

"The authority of government, even such as I am willing to submit to — for I will cheerfully obey those who know and can do better than I, and in many things even those who neither know nor can do so well — is still an impure one: to be strictly just, it must have the sanction and consent of the governed. It can have no pure right over my person and property but what I concede to it. The progress from an absolute to a limited monarchy, from a limited monarchy to a democracy, is a progress toward a true respect for the individual. Even the Chinese philosopher was wise enough to regard the individual as the basis of the empire. Is a democracy, such as we know it, the last improvement possible in government? Is it not possible to take a step further towards recognizing and organizing the rights of man? There will never be a really free and enlightened State until the State comes to recognize the individual as a higher and independent power, from which all its own power and authority are derived, and treats him accordingly. I please myself with imagining a State at least which can afford to be just to all men, and to treat the individual with respect as a neighbor; which even would not think it inconsistent with its own repose if a few were to live aloof from it, not meddling with it, nor embraced by it, who fulfilled all the duties of neighbors and fellow-men. A State which bore this kind of fruit, and suffered it to drop off as fast as it ripened, would prepare the way for a still more perfect and glorious State, which also I have imagined, but not yet anywhere seen."
