With these bozos running the show, is there any doubt that support on the major indexes will not break? Perhaps not a question of if but when?
It is great that Congress voted on the bill even though must of them didn’t even read it before voting. Great job guys.
“Democrats released the text of the plan late the night before the vote, prompting complaints from Republicans they didn’t have enough time to review the legislation before voting on it.”“It is over a thousand pages,” said Representative Tom Price, a Georgia Republican. “It is physically impossible for any member to have read this bill.”

“The push to get the bill through before the holiday weekend was so frantic, members of Congress didn’t have a chance to read all 1,071 pages of the document before they could vote.”
“In a perfect world it would have been nice to have had more time to process it,” said Ilan Kayatsky, a spokesman for Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY).

This amounts to negligence. Can you imagine if a judge ruled on a case but didn’t bother to show up for the trial? What if an accountant advised a client on how to proceed with tax filings even though the accountant did not read any of the client’s accounting statements? What if a bank officer made a loan without bothering to read any of the underwriting reports? All of this would be NEGLIGENCE. Yet, these bozos vote on a bill even though they have not taken the time to read it. From reading the interviews from the various news sites, none of them are exactly sure what is in the bill. What is the standard of professionalism in Congress? Are there no rules of professionalism for them to follow at all? Apparently not.
