Did ANYONE in Congress read this 1100 page spending bill before ...

[federox]

A spending bill passed thru in less than a day. Ever try to read a book 1100 pages in 13 hours? And this was written in Legalese! The dems said it had something to do with money.

There's no way any of them spent the entire night reading the final bill.

Can anyone in congress read except Ron Paul ? Lobbyists and crooks wrote the bill long before Obama was elected .

Are you kidding???

War and Peace was smaller

Did the Republicans read it before they voted against it? Or are they only following the directives of dopey limbaugh and trying to destroy America in time for the 2010 election?

[Jesse_J]

I think they all take speed reading courses!

Good point.  What I don't understand is if they had the votes to pass it, then why all the secrecy?  They were going to get mostly what they wanted anyway.  Does not make sense.  No one wants to admit that the congress had a worse approval rating than Bush the whole time he was there and it didn't matter what party was in charge.

No, no one who voted for the bill even read it, if they had, they would find all of the anti-American bullshit written into it. People we have to wake up! When the Federal Reserve Bill was passed in 1913 the same dirty tricks and  tactics were used then to hide the biggest fraud ever put on mankind (other than religion). You can read the writings of Representative Charles Lingburgh Sr. (R) Minn. about the money trust. He specifically details the events leading to the passing of the Federal Reserve Act...the same thing is happening now as it did months ago when Bush and Paulson rushed the banking bailout bill without letting us have sufficient time to debate it and read it...NO ONE GETS TO READ ANYTHING ANYMORE!!! WTF IS GOING ON??? WHY ARE OUR POLITICIANS (Republican and Democrat) SELLING US DOWN THE RIVER??

Our second amendment needs to be protected now more than anything. Because when the time comes that we need to fight for our freedom and resist the New World Order, we will need our guns. And no, I'm not a conspiracy nut, if you did any of your  homework, you will see that these same tactics have been used in every power play the elite have made.

Prepare fcor the government Problem/Reaction/Solution when it comes to the Amero. For those of you that have not heard anything about this yet, mark my words....The government is creating the Problem right now...bursting the housing bubble, oil is next....and soon mass hyperinflation towards the end of the year will follow. (Problem)

The Reaction will come next. Americans will be suffering. When deflation, then hyperinflation hits, you will see prices on everything rise very sharply. Gold will skyrocket to record values...and the people will be in dissaray.

Solution: While everyone is desperate and beggin their government to help, the Dollar will be dumped because of its worthlessness that was intentionally pushed into being, and the Amero (a new form of currency) will be implemented for the new North American Union. (Canada, USA, and Mexico).

Wake up and do not let this happen.

Impossible.  I'm sure each committee only read the articles pertaining to "their" money, you know, to make sure it made it in; the oddity of it all is they vote on it in it's entirety. I think it should be criminal to allow this, but unfortunately it can't be proved.
I also think it should be criminal to present any Bill that is, KNOWINGLY, not understandable to half a population who is expected to decide on it.  We all know, especially our politicians, that there's a terrible education problem in America and they purposely word these things in a manner beyond confusing to the Average American.  

Don't people see what this side of Government is doing to us?  Politicians have deliberately, over the years, "dumbed down" Americans to a point of total manipulation, and most don't even have a clue.

They were all more worried about their 10 day vacation, while the people who work for a living will have to figure out a way to pay for this spending bill.
