Democrats are in such a hurry to spend billions, they not only stop reading bills, they stop naming them


Senate democrats were in such a hurry to spend $26 billion of our tax dollars bailing out public teachers unions and state governments, they failed to bother naming the bill. Senate Democrats passed H.R. 1586 with the name of the “______Act of____.” Of course, it is only a $26 billion bill. This isn't even real money to big spending Democrats. It would be safe to assume none of them read it either.

reported:
As reported on the WashingtonWatch.com blog and cnet news, this highly unconventional name may be what goes into law. With the Senate out of town until September, there is no chance to pass a correcting amendment in both houses. The constitution requires both to pass identical bills, so the House must take up the “______Act of____” and pass it as such.

If it does, the “law with no name” will stand as a lasting tribute to the inattention Congress gives its work. Spending billions of taxpayer dollars is a hurried and casual affair for our lawmakers.
