Yoweeee. And, I just found out today that the bill has some "double counting" that got exposed in a senate session today and it was called to the carpet and put on record. Glad to see that congress is having the chance to go through this.

Of course, it would have been great if they'd gone through it before passing it. Heaven forbid our congresspersons actually READ THE FUCKING BILL.

What, Obama promised more transparency in his government. Surely a bill wouldn't pass without the public, let alone Congress, knowing what is in it. You must be making that up.

Bzzzt. The funding was not secret, and the bill was available to be read for 72 hours before the vote.

Yeah, and it's not like our public servants would introduce a bill hundreds of pages long in the middle of the night before the vote was to take place. Thank your god.

Wow you mean a whole 72 hours to go thru all 2000 pages. Those lazy fuckers how dare they not take the time to to examine that bill.

2000 pages is doable in 72 hours. I mean, it's not like our Congressmen and women have anything better to do, right?

That's pretty much the core requirement of their job.

I agree on that point but have you read any of the bill? Its like reading a dictionary. Anyone could fall asleep. Im not one for sticking up for those fuckers but you gotta give them a proper amount of time if you want them to make an educated decsion.

You talking about the one where one side left for 3 weeks so it couldn't be discussed?
