So, I'm very, very confused. The White House and House & Senate majorities promised a new era of openness and inclusion for citizens in the government process.

So, could somebody explain to me why the compromise language was reached on Wednesday, but it was only posted to the Speaker's website last night at 11:30 PM Eastern, when the vote is schedule for 9AM this morning?

Could somebody explain to me why the House staff took the time to print a computer file out and scan it in, rather than posting the electronic version of the document? It couldn't possibly be so that we can't parse the document or use search terms, could it?

What Nancy Pelosi hoped you'd sleep through...

Could somebody explain to me why only Democrats were allowed to be on the bi-cameral compromise committee? Forget about the average citizens, even the 3 Senate Republicans that voted for the Stimulus didn't get to see it until close to midnight last night and have to vote on it at 9AM.

Does all of this sound open and inclusive to anyone else?
