Far from transparent....

Yesterday's House vote on health care reform and reports now that the bill is going to President Obama's desk for signing has me a bit confused.  Our Congressional process is so fraught with parliamentry procedures and processes that those outside of it are left confused and scratching our collective heads.

Seems to me that the whole process is so far from transparent that it conveys to me that our elected officials are trying to hide much from the electorate.  I understand that the health care bill contains thousands of pages of legislative language.

No wonder the majority of the Americans don't vote and stay out of touch.  And, Congress likes it that way.
