If cap and trade and the Obama health care plan are so good why are they being rammed through Congress?

before anyone can read them

Update:

Kaito, cap and trade was 1100 pages long had 300 pages added at 3 AM and was voted on 12 hours later. Did anyone have time to read it?

    Right....it's the 0bama way, apparently, to blindside people. People here better start contacting their Senators and Congresspeople and telling them you don't want the Obamacare OR Cap & Trade.....you can see how things are failing even now, before those. They're talking that in 39 STATES, at least 50% of YOUR INCOME will be taken our for taxes to support it....I urge you...CONTACT THEM. It's the ONLY way it can be defeated !!!!!!!

    It's EASY to contact your Senators....just look here and write them that you don't want either.....no reasons needed.:

    We're in deep sh*t if this all goes through. You don't want the government taking over YOUR health.....people are catching on, and we have to defeat it....even some Dems are going against it........

    They're talking $1,870. per year for a family of four for the Cap & Trade alone if it goes thru (to start!)...

    There's only months till the next election start warming up and then nothing gets done. So they have to ram as much threw before it get talked about and find the holes in it. There is so much no one knows over this that I doubt if we the people could read and understand it in a year.With so many bills being pushed at 1 time that even the house and senate can't and won't read it. Just parts and the pork is massive and UN acceptable.So if we have issues than best ask your senator and Governor to not vote it in till it's read.

    Health care has been a problem for 20-30 years. It is no secret. Slowing down will only give the opposition time to derail the legislation.

    If they give people the time to find out what's in a bill, it gives them time to raise opposition.

    That's pretty much why the illegal immigrant amnesty bill died last year.

    And the bills definitely aren't good.

    Obama does all of his programs that way. If he didn't, people would read them and would be too busy laughing to even think about going along with his crap.

    So much for 5-day transparency on recovery.gov.
