Congress = Lawmakers Who Sometimes Forget to Read Over the Laws They Make

There has been a on-going vice in Congress throughout the years: they don't even read the bills they pass/vote on. To be fair, this applies to both the Democrats and the Republicans.

The idea of Congress reading every single bill from front to back before voting is unfeasible, for there would be minimal progress in legislation. It is understandable that some bills require urgency as well in order for changes to come into effect immediately for the betterment of society.

However, slacking and skimming through bills that will essentially transform the structure of America (i.e. Health Care reform, which we sadly even have to force them to read) is reckless.

Glad that watch-dog groups are solely devoted to passing a Read The Bill Act.

The Obama Administration has expressed desire to increase and expand transparency, and the only way Congress can achieve this is by being honest to its constituents and re-assuring them that their votes stem from comprehensive research and understanding of monumental bills.
