Re: That POS bill is 1079 pages long.
LOL, that sounds like a regurgitation of something the Republicans have been spouting.
You really need to look at the bill yourself. Maybe if you put it in 40-point font and quadruple spaced it, it would come to 1079 pages. I have already scanned everything I needed to know, and it only took me a couple of hours. There's some legalese in some sections that can be skipped altogether. The interesting spots are rather ease to browse.
Re: Heck, our Congressheeple haven't read it.
Sure they did. They Democrats obviously read it well enough to vote on it, while the Republicans read it well enough to complain about it. You're falling for the political rhetoric. The important parts of the bill have been out for a couple of weeks now, and based on how easy it was for me to browse, I'd think it quite remiss for any congressman to claim they didn't read it. I would fire anyone who didn't spend at least as much time as I spent on it, which was enough to educate me on the high level points of the bill.
Re: It would take a lot more than a pork chop dinner to entice me to wade through that thing. I tried to read some of it earlier, but the thing is darned near unintelligible.
Umm... ok. Do you also have trouble reading the newspaper? I didn't find the bill any harder than anything else I read on a regular basis. The trick is skipping over the legal parts and getting to the meat of it. Don't read word-for-word. Look at the main section headings and go to the parts that are interesting to you.
If this advice doesn't work for you, then maybe you need additional help. Ask a non-partisan buddy of yours to read it and explain it to you.
