We are getting close to a vote on the floor and the wish of some is to hear the whole bill read out loud before a vote. I say, go to it! When I go to the grocery store I receive a statement which will tell me what I spent my money on and how much it costs. When I bring my car in for repairs I receive a list of services performed on my vehicle. When I have electrical work or need a plumber, he supplies me with a receipt including tax when the job is done. Why should this be any different? I say read the bill now instead of just passing it and then finding out what is inside it and where our hard earned money is really being spent!!!
