Bill to ban lying to Congress

Posted by David Hardy · 10 May 2012 08:10 AM

A budget amendment that would prohibit use of appropriated funds in lying to Congress. Its importance would be that any use of appropriated funds that is outside the purpose of the appropriation is a violation of the anti-deficiency Act, which bureaucrats worry about. Although since lying to Congress already is a crime, how much good this does may be doubtful.

How about a bill to ban anyone IN congress from lying??

The silence would be resounding.

Nah, they'd all keep saying what they already say, and defend its truth on the basis that "it all depends on what the meaning of 'is' is."

So it is now going to be double-plus extra illegal to lie to Congress? But all they say is you can't use your allowance to lie to us, instead of saying you will lose your allowance or be grounded or have to do extra chores.

The lack of parenting is overwhelming.

stay safe.

Heh. I like Roger's response. However, I do think that if they banned lying in congress, nothing would get done. It's not like they really do much to begin with...

Mostly what they do in Congress is damage.
