Thanks for that. Oddly enough this particularly egregious lame duck Pelosi POS got little attention at the time. This atrocity, along with Øbamacare needs to get the slash and burn treatment in the new congress. I can dream...

I had been watching the original bill in the house for a long time before that post. They did everything they could to prevent a recorded vote being public.

It passed in the middle of the night at the end of the lame duck session. The vote was a voice vote. When they realized since it was an appropriations bill it had to originate in the House. They read the body of the bill into an existing bill that died. Making actual tracking nearly impossible.

Then when they passed the law there was no wording on House.gov or Thomas Register. I was only able to find the actual bill when it was sent to the General Printing Office, from the Public law number.

They were sold on voting for the bill by some real or perceived threat by foreign agents to our food supply.

The original bill was a horror. This one is not as bad, but still is horrible.
