[QUOTE="muttmeister, post: 200499, member: 135"] Well, I know they needed to pass SOMETHING and they needed to pass it FAST but, like a lot of things they do, it became mired in politics (you know: from the Greek "poly" meaning "many" and "ticks" meaning "blood sucking parasites"). Supposedly they had to add all of those pork barrel amendments to get some of the congress people to vote for it but as far as I am concerned that is just another way to ***** (can't think of a word to replace the one I'd like to use which would be censored) the general public. I haven't read ALL of the provisions (it went from a short piece of legislation to over 500 pages) and I doubt if many of them have either. They (meaning ALL of them, not just one party or one faction) certainly have a way of taking a simple idea and turning it into a never ending saga. [/QUOTE]
