The Federalist ^ | February 14, 2019 | Christopher Jacobs

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: Congress rams through a massive piece of legislation costing hundreds of billions of dollars without bothering to read it. Meet Congress under a Democratic majority—same as under the old majority.

They’ll know what’s in it when they get their pork. That’s the important thing.
