Transparency is not TWITTER

Recently in the political vortex, it has been fashionable to champion "transparency"-----and the actual tangible improvements have been real, but disappointing----we have gotten TWITTER and streaming of press releases from our elected leaders....but not TRANSPARENCY-----

True transparency would reflect the debate of open meetings----the audio, and the video of the debates about the regulation of Wall Street; Open discussion of the pros and cons of various plans for health care reform. Open meetings on how the hedge funds would have all their transactions made in one open and transparent, and trackable, market system.

We're getting just the sizzle---not the beef. Stay tuned.
