Your links don't work - they refer to nonexistent FR pages instead of starting with the source URL.

It's true. Almost never do Members of Congress actually read the bills they vote on. You know why? The bill itself doesn't really tell you a damn thing about what the bill actually does. Take a look at this actual bill from 1997. Seems harmless enough, right? These little 165 words are actually a $1.7 billion change in law, but you wouldn't know it just from reading the bill.

That's awfully clever to sneak something like that.

Good post. Scary and Depressing, but a good read.
