Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) predicted on Thursday that none of his Senate colleagues would "have the chance" to read the entire final version of the $790-billion stimulus bill before the bill comes up for a final vote in Congress.
Sen. Roland Burris (D-Ill.), President Barack Obama's successor in the Senate, seemed baffled by the thought of actually reading the entire bill--as did his press secretary.
"There is plenty to complain about for everyone, and perhaps that’s the sign of a good compromise," said U.S. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, a Missouri Democrat. "Regardless of party, we all cast our votes with one hand and crossed our fingers with the other."
They didn't know what was in it, but they voted for it and crossed their fingers, hoping it will work?!?
