Wow. How could 100 Senators have written 20,000 earmarks so fast? Especially when they only work 3 days a week.

You think they actually write anything? Their job is to posture and pose. They have staff to write.

You use the term very casually, to refer to what these asshats do as "work".

According to the article, they've been planning this for months. That also means they've calculated exactly when to release it so that there would be enough time to get it passed, but not enough time to read it.

When you go shopping, you pull out your wallet, right?
They keep earmarks on hand; they’re considered currency
to buy votes.

A report on Fox this morning said a Dim senator said they had been working on this for a year.

They must be able to write with both hands. After all, they can all speak out of both sides of their mouths.
