  - I would like to believe that members of Congress could digest and understand the implications of spending $800B and how before voting on it. - TFox Feb 13, 07:13 6

      - Just *trust* 'em! They say it's a good bill! Who are we to second-guess? - Dr.Vermin Feb 13, 07:18 4

        I would hope that would be one of the minimum job requirements: to read and understand the bills you vote on. -- nm - TFox Feb 13, 07:19 2
        
        Though all they need to read/review this time are the changes to what they voted on already. - ty97 Feb 13, 07:22
        
        or at least understand it, even if you have other people do the reading for you. -- nm - znufrii Feb 13, 07:20
  - In the name of more ethical and transparent government, they said all legislation would be posted for 48 hours before final passage. - Strongbad Feb 13, 07:12 13
    - they also said they'd have in on the president's desk by Monday. - znufrii Feb 13, 07:13 2
      - ethics and transparency... sorry, you've been voted off the island. - Strongbad Feb 13, 07:15 1

        The criticizers aren't elected to vote on the bill; we aren't the ones who need to read it. - TFox Feb 13, 07:23
        
        the congresspersons who are expecting to go on their President's Day recess? -- nm - znufrii Feb 13, 07:19 2
        
        ok, then fuckitall, Tuesday. -- nm - TFox Feb 13, 07:20 1
        
        well, they're out the entire week. -- nm - znufrii Feb 13, 07:22
        
        I do. - ty97 Feb 13, 07:19
