My deepest apologies to Nancy Pelosi

In comments a time ago my anger over reacted when Democratic House Leader Nancy Pelosi said “We don’t know what is in the bill till after we vote for it”. That was the ACA health care bill. After reflecting on that I realized legislation is jacked around so much that it is necessary at this time in history to do just that. See what happens.

It alarms me to know our legislation is just “jack around words “ that benefit the one percent rather than we the people is a disappointing realism. Worse our supreme court has defined the current conservative stance on money is free speech as an incredible fault line in modern America politics.

What the electorate needs to know is that trace or thread that winds through the laws signed in power. Navigating through this legislation is difficult especially being just a citizen. But now with the Internet maybe things can change.
