Obama calls everything an emergency. That's because he doesn't want any of us to know what is in the bills he is pushing. Heck, he doesn't even know what's in them based on his answers to questions.<br /><br />Transparency promises have been all rhetoric, no action. The people have fallen for the right words at the right time too often. Politicians get an 'F' for their transparency follow through.<br /><br />I would like to see each legislator subjected to a cross examination on bills he/she votes for. The cross examination would include questions like what is the impact on each Kentuckian, how much will this add to our state or national debt, provide copies of all analysis you used to reach your conclusion, etc. If they are not able to answer satisfactory they need to publicly highlighted and chastised.<br /><br />Anybody else going to jump into this topic???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
