Your Federal Government at ‘Work’ — 091030

If ONLY they’d come up to the third millennium.

So, yesterday, the latest version of Congress’ House of Representatives bill for health care reform hit the proverbial ‘floor’. All 1990 pages of it.

And yet, the Government Printing Office and the Library of Congress, the fine people who are supposed to provide information on what a bill looks like STILL don’t have it available for US folk here in the ‘fly-over country’.

The text of H.R.3962 has not yet been received from GPO.

This is, in my honestly held opinion, ‘stupid’. This is the 21st Century people. One HOUR after the bill hit the floor of the House of Representatives, the Library of Congress should have had it available to the Government Printing Office for the rest of US to see. And I have to wonder if these people are still using manual typewriters.

Also, for those wondering WHY I think this an issue for Pueblo….

....look around you at all the retirees living here. Myself included.

   Got it.

   Thanks.

   However, as I commented in the original article….

   ....isn’t it ‘odd’ that the Library of Congress and the Government Printing Office can’t ‘keep up’?
