From Jonathan Bernstein:
Let’s be clear on this: The House of Representatives right now is just a total disgrace.
I’m fed up with them now after yet another attempt to put together a health care reform bill. Not because of the content of the bill … well, that is, the content of the tentative agreement on a concept, or an idea, or whatever they think they’re doing without actually having, so far at least, any legislative language. Let alone a Congressional Budget Office score which might tell them how much their bill costs or what it would actually accomplish. No, the problem here is process. It ain’t legislating in a way that is likely to produce coherent public policy.
