there's your bill, all 2079 pages of it.
Holy crap. 2079 pages? Well no, I didn't think that was the entire bill in its form as a proposal to the senate, but I did think it was a full summary of points of the bill. I guess I'll have to wade through it all now.

In this day and time, I guess 'the people' = big corporate interests and those who can afford to have enough lobbyists pushing their interests, because as we all know, there's no way in hell our government has 'represented' the 'people' for a long time now. If anything, I hope that Obama will help to change that a little bit. I don't have strong hopes for it, but I do have some.
