yep. been awhile since i looked into it, but that's the gist of it. there's the main bill that gets debated and put on the news, but lost in the spotlight is all the little bullshit unrelated to the main bill that would be politically stupid to not sign. therefore, all you need is a few friends to scratch your back, you return the favor later down the road for them, and you have your little pet project passed somewhere around page 802....
in honor of my 1,200th post i am hearby asking my fellow lawmakers to scratch my back and support my attachment to the health care bill and requiring all u.s financial firms to ignore all expenditures of those who make less than $12 a year. you can find the attachment on page 1,200, mashed between the water off a duck's back and making my pig smell better attachments.
