Proposed new dictionary defination: irresponsible

irresponsible (adj.) - Any elected official that votes for legislation they haven't read.

No matter what you may think of the pending "stimulus" conference report, it is unbelievable that any responsible elected official would agree to commit over a trillion dollars to anything they haven't read. If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right, and in the open, and under careful public scrutiny.

I would implore thoughtful senators to delay a cloture vote, AT LEAST until you've had a chance to read the bill. I would further ask that a SEARCHABLE soft version of the 1100 page report be made available for public scrutiny.

This is a butt-load of money and as the (parents and grandparents) of citizens paying for it, we deserve at least that.
