“Current System Is Ridiculous” Sen. Paul Calls On Congress To Actually Read Bills Or Make Them Shorter

Last week, as The Free Press recently reported, the Democrats in Congress rammed through a 2,741-page budget bill in roughly 24 hours.

That was a piker compared to one passed in the waning days of the Trump administration. A spending bill that former President Donald Trump signed in December 2020 was the largest ever adopted by Congress, a hefty 5,593 pages.

Such monstrosities only confirm the suspicion that lawmakers have no idea what they’re voting for – as current House Speaker Nancy Pelosi noted in 2010 of the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, when she said, “We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it.”

Republican Sen. Rand Paul believes it’s time Congress stopped such nonsense.

In an opinion article for Newsmax, published Friday, the Kentucky Republican argued lawmakers must actually read the bills, or write shorter ones.
