And nobody read it.
>>The U.S. Senate passed a $1.5 trillion, 2,741-page omnibus spending bill<<
Wonderful...just freaking wonderful.
Committee passed the (resolution?) for finale package at 0230 with the meeting at 0100 with announcement of the meeting at 1201 on a web page.
“..2,741-page omnibus spending bill...”
“And nobody read it”
Back in the 60s I took a Evelyn Wood speed-reading course. It really does work as hard as it might be for people to believe.
If Republicans were smart they would hire some people who can do this and have them actually read through the thing before it comes up for a vote. Find the little surprises buried deep inside the bill.
About 20 years ago Missouri passed a huge spending bill for education. It was done very quickly, like in a day or two. Buried deep within the bill was a provision that students could not advance to fourth grade if he or she weren’t reading at a third-grade level. It wasn’t discovered until some days after the governor signed the bill into law.
Panic ensued as everyone realized that if the law were followed, in a few years there would be fourteen-year olds in third grade. So, in the next session that provision was eliminated.
Point being, someone, several someones really, should actually read these things before they are passed.
