Nancy Pelosi: We Need To Pass The Health Care Bill So That We Can Find Out What Is In It

Is there any doubt that the U.S. government is broken?  Just check out the video posted below.  It is a brief clip of Nancy Pelosi telling us that we need to pass the health care reform bill so that we can find out what is in it.

Say what?

Hopefully this was just a slip of the tongue....



But even if this was just a slip, the truth is that the political process in Washington D.C. is now fundamentally flawed.

Things are so bad that now even members of Congress feel absolutely and completely powerless to do anything about the corruption in the system.

It is really sad to see what has happened to our once great Republic.

Now most members of Congress do not even read the bills that they pass.

Will any of them even read the entire health care reform bill before they cast a final vote on it?

Considering the fact that the final bill is likely to be well over 1000 pages long, the odds probably aren't great that many people in Washington D.C. will ever read the entire thing.

And that is just sad, because health care is one of the most important political issues of 2010.

What if the American people did not read their ballots before voting?

Well, come to think of it, that might just explain how we got the current cast of characters in Washington D.C.
