When I was in grade school the Sister Borromeo taught me that icebergs were deceiving. On top they are small, but it is below the surface where the real size is. The Titanic proved the point that you don't get too close, lest you be surprised!
In politics we hear that a bill was past, as an example, and the top portion of the bill, the title, sounds very favorable. So was the case of the "Stimulus" bill. How could anything be wrong with stimulating a bad economy. "Shovel ready jobs" were continuously talked about. Then along comes the bill dubbed Affordable Health Care Act. Looks good on the surface, but now we realize we have been coned. Taxes that only a politician could like, spending on hiring thousands of government employees, health care taxes that will be passed on to us, and generally crap.
Am I cynical when Nancy Pelosi says "we'll have to pass the bill it to find out what is in it"? -- Enough
