The Democrats’ $3.5 TRILLION dollar spending bill is thousands and thousands of pages … because nothing says a bill is ‘necessary’ like having to use thousands of pages to explain what it is. Or there is just that much spending in the freakin’ thing.
Sort of reminds us of Dr. Evil, ‘ELEVENTY TRILLION DOLLARS!’
Tom Elliott was good enough to go through the bill and share some ‘highlights’.
Or would that be lowlights?

Safe to say, ‘taxes’ is the Democrats’ favorite word?
Argh.
