He makes an interesting point
Conyers Sees No Point in Members Reading 1,000-Page Health Care Bill
Unless They Have 2 Lawyers to Interpret It for Them Monday, July 27, 2009By Nicholas Ballasy, Video Reporter
(CNSNews.com) - During his speech at a National Press Club luncheon, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Democratic Congressman John Conyers (D-Mich.), questioned the point of lawmakers reading the health care bill.
“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?”
Normally I don't care much for Mr. Conyers but in this case he makes a valid point and therefore a good reason to vote no on the bill. If it is so complex that it's undecipherable then it's bad. If it starts out at 1000 pages then it's too big to function efficiently. How long before it becomes 200,000 pages or as big as the rules for income tax.
