Its impossible to find the truth but the scumbags will find every little thing in the 1500 pages that will enable them to line their pockets and rip off the average Joe. They'll be lawyers by the thousands looking to exploit it but nobody looking at it to explain it to citizens in plain English!

Yup, it's being designed that way. They don't want you to know what it covers, or not, and what the true cost will be either.

1500 pages and "They are giving members of the House 72 hours to review the document before discussions in front of the full assembly take place."
A major document like that with the goal of overhauling an integral system in the country needs more like a month of review.
I really wish the House and Senate weren't so lopsided to the Left.

Doesn't matter if you lean too far to the left or too far to the right , the boat still tips over!
I was watching the RI general assembly last night. They all stand around shooting the bull then a bill comes up and they rush to their desk and hit a button then they rush back to continue shooting the bull. I don't think they have any idea what the bills are that they are voting on , they just have numbers. They even had one guy asking if they could announce a little a head of time which bills would be coming up for a vote so that he could look them up and see what he was voting on. They ignored him!
Hionestly , people pay more attention at the bingo hall than these people do in the general assembly.
The country is sinking. The best and brightest will not go near politics anymore do to muck raking and personal attacks. That leaves the country in the hands of people with second rate intellects who get involved so they can cash in and get rich personally.
I can already see what the history books will say.....The once strong United States slipped into mediocrity while its citizens watched Reality TV.
More people know the names of the finalists on American Ideal than know the names of their senators and congressman.
God Bless America , it sure needs it now!
