My name’s Tom Price and I represent the Sixth District of Georgia and [am] the privileged chair of the Republican Study Committee,” Price said. “It’s now noon on Wednesday. I’m standing outside the office of the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi. The door is closed. We just heard news break there’s been an agreement between the House and the Senate on the non-stimulus bill.”

“It’s curious because Republicans were invited to a meeting they said at 3 o’clock this afternoon,” Price continued. “What this means is there are more shady deals going on behind closed doors — without the public, without Republicans in attendance.”
The Georgia congressman had also called on congressional leaders to televise the House-Senate negotiations. However, as much as the press has helped the Obama administration trumpet a new era of transparency, there has been little call from the television media for these negotiations to be televised publicly.
“As the House and Senate move to negotiate the final text of the so-called stimulus bill, I have called on Speaker Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to make good on that promise and allow any and all House and Senate negotiations to take place in an open and public forum,” Price wrote in a Feb. 11 blog post for Red State. “By allowing television cameras in the room as negotiations take place, we can provide the transparency American taxpayers expect.”
Hat’s off to ya, Rep. Price. Others in Congress could learn a valuable lesson from you

What channel is he on? Which newspaper is printing this story about the scoundrels and conspirators?
“By allowing television cameras in the room as negotiations take place, we can provide the transparency American taxpayers expect.”
If this new administration was serious about being transparent, why the big push to pass a “stimulus” bill with so much PORK hidden. Most the American people have no clue about all that is coming at them in the next few years. It sounds good now to have health care when you are 20 and unemployed. Wait until you are 60 and want surgery and the government informs you that it is not cost effective.
Nein! Vee do not vant to know how der sausage ist being made.
