Fun with Lautenberg

jmelli at Bluejersey.net reports:
Sen Lautenberg filed an amendment today (2/2) to rename the "Tax Reconciliation Act of 2005” to “More Tax Breaks for the Rich and More Debt for Our Grandchildren Deficit Expansion Reconciliation Act of 2006.” "This bill will stuff the pockets of the rich and pick the pockets of our grandchildren. The American people want straight talk from Congress. Let’s start by telling them what this bill will really do."

If more bills were named accurately, I bet they wouldn't pass. How about instead of the name "Patriot Act," it was called the "Sacrifice Liberties in Exchange for No Increase in Security Act of 2001?"

Yay, Lautenberg.
