Former Georgia Congressman Newt Gingrich suggested the final version of bill be posted on the Internet for 24 hours before Congress votes. *** That will let you flush out the kind of hidden, secret deals that crop up, that the press finds two weeks after somethings been voted on, he said.
I disagree with some of what Newt is saying but you can read the rest of his analysis of the financial crisis proposal here.
I dont know that Congress will get this bill done in time to post it for 24 hours but it ‘s a great idea and certainly worth considering for all bills coming out of Congress in the future. There has to be a way to keep an eye on them and hold them all accountable.
