I would like to believe that members of Congress could digest and understand the implications of spending $800B and how before voting on it.

That's an awfully quick turnaround time on something of that magnitude, although I concede that the 16 hours is somewhat misleading since the majority of it is probably unchanged from an earlier draft they should have reviewed.

    - 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
