To paraphrase, legislate in haste, repent at leisure. Whether it was the porkpalooza Stimulus, the medical system takeover, cash for clunkers, or the bait & switch climate bill, all had two things in common. First, each was a thousand plus pages of deliberate obfuscation that could only be deciphered by cunning lingusts with law degrees. The second was that each was rushed to a vote before it could be given even a cursory analysis. The reason is clear. The Dem leadership knows full well that if the American people knew what the effect of these boondoggles was, there would be hell to pay. Fortunately, for the first time, people are engaged in researching this stuff and the results are chilling. The most dangerous aspect of these bills is what's not in them. Each bill contains little specific information about how its mandates are to be accomplished. Rather, bureaucratic entities responsible for making the hard (read unpopular and unconstitutional) decisions are created and empowered. By doing this, Congresscritters gain the political holy grail of plausible deniability, meaning that when constituents are ready to string them up by the balls for Draconian regulation they can say "I didn't vote for THAT".
