Rand Paul has a plan to make lawmakers read the bills before they vote

"The Senate passed a $1.5 trillion, 2,471-page spending package earlier this month. There is no way the politicians who signed off on this could have properly digested it. That’s how things are done in DC. @RandPaul doesn’t think it should be this way." https://t.co/WUt3UW0n4E

From my latest at BASEDPolitics, “After the Senate passed a $1.5 trillion, 2,471-page spending package earlier this month, Rand Paul marveled at the fact that his colleagues could do this in ‘the middle of the night’ and ‘just hours before we were expected to vote on it.’

The answer is they couldn’t have possibly read the legislation.

Leo Tolstoy’s classic War and Peace would take almost an estimated 38 hours to read—and the novel is less than half the length of the spending package at a mere 1,296 pages.

There is no way the politicians who signed off on this thing could have properly digested it. They just voted with the herd. That’s how things are done in Washington.

Sen. Paul doesn’t think it should be this way.”
