Sometimes politicians say things that are so STUPID you can't help but get angry.
Very angry.
House Judiciary Chairman, John Conyers (DEMOCRAT, Michigan) seen here had this at a National Press Club luncheon.
“I love these members, they get up and say, ‘Read the bill," said Conyers. "What good is reading the bill if it’s a thousand pages and you don’t have two days and two lawyers to find out what it means after you read the bill?”
Well, Sir, it's your *&^%$#@! JOB (there are at least four days in your work week - yes?) to READ the bill and chat up the *&^%$#@! lawyers (you mean you're not one?) and KNOW what it says BEFORE you vote on it . . . because if you don't, that means that some poor schmuck in the real world will be dealing with a whole lot more than two lawyers for huge chunks of their life - in order to cope with what you were dumb enough to vote into law without reading.
Of course, my own experience with lawyers freely and broadly "interpreting" the (in my case, fairly simple) language of government agreements wouldn't be relevant to anything like that.
And if you, Sir, are too doddering and too dense to do that . . . then you need to GET THE HELL OUT OF WASHINGTON.
One thing is for sure. This ain't "change".

Conyers is typical of the "do anything for a vote" pol. He , like his fearless leader knows that "the plan" will buy the votes of those who always want something for nothing.
When nearly 50% of the people do not pay income taxes why should they worry about taxes going up? They won't have to pay, at least in their minds they won't , it will be FREE.
That is the class of people that Pols like Conyers appeal to. So don't look for Conyers to be impeached anytime soon. His constituents love him.
