Aside/ How exactly is it that our elected representatives signed this bailout without even reading it? They are still now finding things that they had no idea were there. Gotta be done before Nancy goes on her trip...

Same as they did with the PATRIOT Act.

Nobody had time to read it, damn near everyone voted for it.
