That's an interesting question, and certainly a very valid one.

 

All political affiliations aside, the thing that I find the most disturbing is that the people voting for (and against) this bill did not even have time to read & comprehend it.

 

Call me crazy, but I don't think that's how things are supposed to work.

Regarding the time available to read the bill. Has the thought occurred to anyone that if given more time to read the bill, more Republicans may have voted for it? No one will ever know, but it is a hypothetical.

Yeah they may have, but at least they would have known what they were voting for. I'd rather a politician vote no on a $700B+ package than to cross their fingers and hope that the people who drew it up knew what they were doing like a Democrat was quoted as saying. That might just be me though.

Realistically, statistically, it couldn't have been MUCH less. :p And, maybe you're joking, but I meant exactly what I wrote, hypothetical. I am not accusing anyone of being hypocritcal. Were you accusing me of such?

Fair enough. I agree.

But if you can put off signing it for a few days, then why not allow them to read it first before the vote? Either way it was a mistake to handle it this way. If they would have voted for it, then he could have had bipartisan support which he stated he was going to have. Sounds like Obama and the democratically controlled legislative branch did not want or need the republicans to support the bill. Right now, the republicans have absolutely no power or voice whatsoever and the democrats know it.

True, and more Democrats may have voted against it?
