How a law is made: Unveil legislation shortly before midnight of a deal worked out between leaders behind closed doors, with members having little time to read it; jam it through both chambers Thursday with just hours before shutdown deadline. #congress.https://twitter.com/phil_mattingly/status/961455618681901056 …

Oh please. NO ONE in Congress has read it. And apparently no one can add.

I assume the appropriations and leadership staff have read it. That’s about it. And it will very likely be the law of the land in a matter of hours.

I don’t remember anyone electing any of them

Wow. That's a salty reply. Appropriation committee is made up of elected representatives. So , there's that.
-
Lobbyists write those bills. So there’s that.

This is not the way a functioning democracy should work. The system seems a little broken if you're passing bills and lawmakers have no time to read it.

PPACA: Average of 1,100 words per page for a total of 10,535 pages. Less than 2 weeks to read it. Was out of Committee less than 2 days when it was on the House Floor and sent to Obama.
