This bill is 2232 pages long, jam packed with issues.
If you devoted only one minute to each page, without a single cross reference, bathroom break, meal, or nap, you'd be in 37.2 straight hours.
Do you think @RepPoliquin read it before voting on it today?

I would humbly disagree that a few hours is plenty of time to digest a 2,232 page bill. Even if I just needed to barely glance at some pages to make sure they were free of typos without considering the impact of the words, I would not feel comfortable with that short of time.

Not overly concerned with your comfort, but the reality is there's no amount of time that the average lawmaker/person could read 2200 pages and find all the pork buried in it by , the legal terms and bureaucratic lingo involved make it near impossible.

I don't know that I agree with that in its entirety. I certainly could parse a 2200+ page bill given sufficient time and probably catch most of the folly in it...but I've also been reading bills for around a decade. They are absolutely very technical documents.

By the way, I was on team Vito for this one, but now that I see what progressive demanded to be included , It's not gonna work out as a campaign tool for them.

I have been too busy to read it. I have it downloaded on my computer, but have other obligations that come first until such time as Congress is my day job. I think pretty much any budget will have some progressive and some conservative values - not always mutually exclusive.
