The bill in the house was 154 pages.  I read it.  The Senate bill was 451 
pages.  I've read most of it.  Most of the pork was stuck there by Dems!

AND, ask any lawyer.  Heck, ask any typist who's ever done documents for any 
type of legal business.  That document was NOT written in a week.  The Dems 
had that thing in the works WEEKS before the media hit the panic button!
