Somebody want to give a rational explanation?

Question

Why did the Republican controlled congress slip into the defense bill an addition which allowed the White House to terminate the inspector general and auditor of expenditures of taxpayers money in Iraq?

Oops! I forgot to say plainly that the Whitehouse did just fire the inspector general-----they did not appoint a new one. I'd love to interview that guy.

Answer 1

Because they don't want the American people to know exactly how much money the US is spending on the war and what they are spending it on. I saw a "60 Minutes" story about how the US has "misplaced" $800 million in Iraq....

Answer 2

Not having seen the bill it would be impossible to give an explanation. That being said, It would probably be a shock to our systems if we saw everything that was slipped into any bill (legal, financial, or otherwise).

The language in today's legislative proposal process is designed to make the reader stop everything they're doing and take a class in advanced English. By the time a normal human (most politicians) finish reading and understanding the bill, the voting may be over!

That's also why so many presidents have been asking for line item veto. However, simple language and line item bills should be the norm, that way the line item veto, pork belly and other stupid adds would be eliminated.

But as I see it, we are not ready to vote common sense. We'll just keep voting Democrat or Republican until a smarter generation comes along.
