Do you actually believe they read what they vote on?

I got this from the Washington Times, by way of the Goomba News Network:

... Democrats on the Senate Finance Committee on Wednesday turned back a Republican amendment to wait 72 hours and require a full cost estimate before the final committee vote on the health care reform bill ... it was the committee's first vote out of more than 500 amendments awaiting them, in what has already been a contentious mark-up session ...

If you really think your friendly neighborhood legislator read that health care bill, you're probably crazy. And you can say the same about any other bill that shows up in Washington. Shoot, they're not even written in English, but in some half-breed language that some people swear makes sense.
