A new poll from Zogby found that 84% of respondents believe that Congress writes long and confusing bills so that it is easier to hide funding for special interests. In a related question, 63% believe they do it so the American public hasn't the time to read the bill, understand it, and let anybody know before a vote is taken.
You can read the details of the responses to both questions here:

I happen to agree with the findings, too. Especially in this ObamaCare debate, long and confusing bills were introduced and voted on within hours or days... clearly they didn't want us to know what was in the bill prior to their voting.
