Default Citizens or Subjects..?

Both major parties are insisting on closed door meetings, no transparency and then at the final last moments unveiling their Grand Plans..

I'm thinking Americans are increasingly becoming ..Subjects not Citizens..just sayin..:

What's wrong with closed door meetings? Were you born in a barn? They are just trying to save on air conditioning.

You know what date is on this coin? 1958. It's been traveling 22 years to get here. And now it's here. And it's either heads or tails, and you have to say. Call it.

Dems can't operate in the light as they are totaly hypocritical.

The GoP better remember we are serious about this being their last chance, they raise taxes we will turn on them completely.

Didn't Obama promise every thing up front? Tranparency? Another colossal lie people bought into.
