On Tuesday during Committee markup, Senator Baucus told the Finance Committee staff to just read the HIGHLIGHTS of the bill being proposed when he realized consideration of all of them would take longer than his Friday deadline to vote his proposal out of committee. So forget about legislators reading the entire bill, Senator Baucus has determined that we don’t have time for committee STAFF to even read the bill!
Who really knows? Since Senator Baucus along with another 11 democrats voted no on the amendment to post the bill on line for 72 hours before voting on it. Why will he not allow it to be publish for all to read? What are the hiding? What is so bad about this bill that they don’t want us The American People to read?
