Because a short and sweet legislative proposal is too easy for everyone to read and understand.I saw the pamphlet Boehner loves to hold up as an alternative to real health care reform. It was as thick as the Big Book of Jewish Sports Legends.
And a bill of few pages is a bad thing?
Obviously, it is direct and focused.....not sure why it would warrant ridicule....
They want it as thick as War and Peace so that no one, not even members of Congress, can read it and understand what's being voted on.
Once again, for all the idiots here, if it were short and sweet, it would soon become just a goddamned piece of paper, with absolutely no effect whatsoever. While I realize that short and sweet is how many of you got through school, it's different out here in adult-land where rules and laws need to be specific in order to cover all sorts of possible legal escape clauses.
