That’s strange. Why would they load it up with law that has already been passed?

Are they trying to mask the more onerous provisions?

We went from a handful of pages to 451 pages. It’s crazy.

-- Why would they load it up with law that has already been passed? --

The House was going to kill H.R.6049, as passed by the Senate, by inaction. But the difference between what the Senate passed and what the House would accept was pretty small, and this fiscal bailout is a good opportunity to do both. The contents of H.R.6049 are attractive to House Republicans, and pulling a few of them over will result in passing the bailout.
