Ryan's Hope

I think there was a television show by that name.
Anyway, after sending my Speaker of the House a form letter, I received a form letter in response.
The differences between the two forms are that mine was specific and , the Speaker's form letter is both non-specific and patently dishonest.

Notice how the Speaker says "Taxpayer money should be spent with transparency and accountability or not at all" but does not say that is his objective or Congressional policy.
It is a true statement that taxpayers deserve transparency and it is also true that politicians avoid true transparency. Positive information is released to paint spending bills favorably but always withholding the ugly compromises.
They lie and have the audacity to preach at people that demand better.
