The only answer?

Because there are things in bills that their authors don’t want you to immediately know.  Things you would object to.  They would either be embarrassed or guilty if they were caught.  And politicians know the American public is ignorant and possessed of no memory.

Unfortunately, it appears this isn’t just the beginning of a trend, it’s now the norm.

Just as the new 2,000+ -page omnibus budget bill was crafted in secrecy this week.

The Demorats started it.  Now the Republicans want to sign off on it.

Who Wrote the Omnibus? Four Lawmakers, Many Lobbyists

by Peter Schweizer

The ugly work that went into the massive pork-filled omnibus spending bill snaking its way through congress is now starting to be exposed.

And it’s not for the faint at heart. Members of congress had little input in the bill and didn’t even in many cases know what was in it.

Read that line over again: members of congress had little input in the bill and didn’t even in many cases know what was in it.

“No member of even the House and Senate knew what was going on,” he (Senator Jeff Sessions, R-AL) told Portland, Oregon talk show host Lars Larson. “Special interests did because we heard from lobbyists what some things were being considered.”

Sessions went on to note that basically four members of congress put the deal together without consulting their colleagues. “It’s not right for ultimately four members, in secret — for reasons we have no understanding of — to make critical decisions on things,” he said.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, shit crafted in secrecy and by a cabal of limited persons.

For a REASON.

There are things in the bill yet undiscovered.

The new normal.

Do you like that?
