Its like they make up an excuse for raiding the cookie jar in advance of raiding the cookie jar and, as soon as they are called on it, out comes the prepared justifrationalization ication.
I would appreciate it if our elected representatives would show a little more confidence in the American people and demonstrate a willingness to take responsibility for their inability to convince us what is needed rather than assume we will disagree, then do it anyway, then whip out the prepared bullschlitz response. I find that pretty arrogant and fairly insulting.

That's an interesting view. I was kind of hoping the "prepared bullshitz" was them telling us how/why they made that decision. Guess I'm being naive, although like you I have serious misgivings also.
