Let's Read The Omnibus Bill Before We Vote On It

   Let's take some time and read the Omnibus Appropriations Bill before we vote on it. Then let's have discussions with both sides...debate the bill's pieces and parts.  And then let's cut the inevitable pork out. In other words, let's get back to reasonable, responsible governance.
   It is difficult to see how our Congress can expect us to agree to accept laws that were written in secrecy and brought to the floor two days before a vote... before anyone has time to examine the thing. With our government's recent track record voters cannot be expected to trust and accept. Bad things happen that way.
   The Democrats have had their way in Congress and they blew it. 2014 is going to be a year for cleaning house. If only the ACA had been brought up for debate where all of it's pieces could have been examined we might have something that is working for everyone. But it was developed in secrecy and pushed through by a Democratic Congress. That is not the way the system was designed to work.
   As for the Omnibus Appropriations Bill, let's please just take a breath and slow down and examine it.
