ORIGINAL: JVoV Oh look. Day 3 and no Speaker. OH FUCK - our leaders are seriously debating critical decisions!!!! We're DOOMED!!!! (Found this laying around) quote:
Think about how much better off we'd be right now if debate were the "norm" rather than some newsworthy fluke. Think of the bills passed, unread and undebated, that may not have passed if our elected representatives had cared enough to debate them this vigorously. Debate is good. What you’ve seen on the House floor over the last 3 days is what you should see on every single bill that comes up for consideration. This should be the norm, not the exception. Lawmakers debating and arguing and voting out in the open is great, and we need more of it. - Carolyn Tacket SIGH.... BoscoX, I will try again, because you are a good guy. I will try and break it down for you. DEBATE - GOOD, The correct way Congress is supposed work. We LOVE debate However.... Debating when the deadline has passed to vote.... BAD.... very bad. Bad planning, disorganization, and dysfunction. As a result, currently, the House Of Representatives is currently inoperable. Lawmakers SHOULD debate in the open. Very good. Meeting deadlines like the rest of us in the world... CRITICAL Republicans failed. NOT because they are debating, but because they just STARTED debating when it is time to make a choice. Once again to summarize: DEBATE - GOOD MISSING CRITICAL DEADLINES CASUING THE CONGRESS TO CEASE OPERATIONS - BAD I hope this makes it easier for you to understand. I have tried explaining this multiple times, and you keep saying how wonderful debate is without seeing the bigger picture. Because I like you, I will always go out of my way to explain things for you.
