“We have to pass the bill to so you can find out what is in it.”

Who could forget this inane quote from then (thank God) Speaker Pelosi. Well, now we are finding out. The AP reported:
President Barack Obama’s health care law would let several million middle-class people get nearly free insurance meant for the poor, a twist government number crunchers say they discovered only after the complex bill was signed.
This is what happens when bills are written behind closed doors and rushed through a jury-rigged voting process so that opposition to the bill can not congeal in time to stave off passage.
What happened to the transparency in government, all the negotiations will be on C-SPAN, and all bills will be posted on the internet 5 days before he signs it. Were those just a few of many broken promises or were they outright lies?
