Since not one in a hundred here on FR has read the bill and knows many of the details (including me)

That can almost certainly apply to most members of Congress.

It has been described as one of the biggest expansions of government in decades in other reports posted here. It is a $400BILLION thingy.

What more do you need to know before you relinquish those reservations?

I need to know the details. I don't believe anything at all written in the newspapers or spoken on TV and that goes for FNC too.

If it's driving the DUmmies mad and they're screeching about AARP then I am happy.

Better the government spends my money on rx for greedy geezers than expanding other social programs.

Only about twice the size of the $190-billion agriwelfare bill signed a few years ago.
Either agri is getting obscenely too much money, or this ain't all that much.

For the record, that $400 billion is just for the first 10 years.
