This time I got my Foolishness from this night’s TV news.
It seems the Senate is wrestling today with an Omnibus Spending Bill that is just under 2,000 pages long.
Remember Obama Care? It was 2,700 pages long.
The Stimulus Bill was more than 1,400 pages long.
I just got the following information online from Political Hotsheet of October 10, 2009… “It should be noted that spending bills routinely exceed 1,000 pages, as do some other bills. President Bush's 2007 budget bill was 1,482 pages long.”
This one is easy…
I propose that our Congress pass and our President sign into law a bill that stipulates that spending bills must be less than 1,000 pages.
Do you think I need be more specific? OK I will be more specific…
I propose that our Congress pass and our President sign into law a bill that stipulates that spending bills must be less than 12 pages long.
Congress might just go for this if the proponents of the 12 Pages & No More Than 12 Pages Bill would point out that bills of this size would ensure that they could all be at Happy Hour when the bell rings … Every Day!
Would I kid u?
