Lamest counter-argument ever?
A supporter of the House health-care bill sends in this:
BTW: What’s the largest bill in congressional history as measured by the number of standard-size 8 ½ by 11” pages with appropriate font and spacing or whatever they normally use for bills in the real world? Just wondering. It’s probably a budget bill, with lots and lots and lots of spending.
A supporter of the House health-care bill sends in this:
Despite intense criticism of the size of the House health care bill -- 1,990 pages! -- a simple page count vastly overstates the actual length of bill.I’m not making this up. … At least it’s shorter than Marienbad My Love.
For instance, a word analysis shows the bill is actually less than one-half of one percent of the entire U.S. Code. It's essentially as long as a Harry Potter novel.
