That’s what I always wonder about. Why does Congress sometimes come up with bills thousands of pages long, which nobody has read? And these bills always allegedly have such great benefits.
I agree with you. Everything in build back better should be voted on individually. Let them make the case for universal pre K, child care subsidies, green new deal etc on their own.
I question why the Democrats decide to try to ram through a Christmas tree full of liberal dreams in the first place. Let’s bring up each issue one by one. If all of these items are so beneficial, then certainly the Congress would approve them one by one. They don’t have to be part of a gigantic piece of legislation to be enacted.
Like Obamacare, none of this garbage went through the public committee process where members grew familiar with the particulars.
Marxist NGOs colluded with rat leadership and dumped the mess on the House shortly before Pelosi demanded a (loyalty) vote.
Senators have more time to consider House bills, but typically rely on staffers to summarize them.
Bringing up items one by one and voting on them in Congress would be very good for Americans but not very good for political payoffs. That is why it will never happen. Sadly
