> You should be doing your research BEFORE signing on to a bill!
Wouldn't that be nice!
Congress do actual research?
And not just take words as written by those crooked lobbyists from crooked hollywood? Lobbyists that for all practical purposes actually own Congress and every one in it?
HELL - they didn't even read the biggest legislation to come along since the 64 Civil Rights act (Health Care Reform) before voting for it! Why would they bother with research!
DOUBLE HELL - they didn't even bother to write it down before voting on it! Most congressmen and Senators can't even tell you much of what it says; especially about the 2000 or so attached riders to the bill that had nothing at all to do with health care. Some of the tax laws they snuck in are truly scary!; some of the most egregious of which have already been repealed, but only after they discovered what was actually in them!
Would they actually bother with research?
Naaaaagh! -
'tain't happening! At least not until we outlaw all forms of lobbying.
Uh - 'tain't happening either! -- we are so screwed!
