Despite being given approximately 24-hours to read the 2,000-plus pages of financial waste before a possible vote, the senator from Kentucky decided he would not only read the entirety of the bill (likely the only member of the Senate to do so), which he has repeatedly called “terrible” and “rotten,” but also live-tweeted out the highlights of where taxpayer dollars are actually going.
It would add to transparency of government if the legislators responsible for each expenditure were “credited” inside these spending bills. Of course, allowing for sufficient time to read the monster bills, including giving all Americans internet access for reading them (which may or may not be the case before passage/defeat), would also be helpful.

Jerry, I guess we’re supposed to be grateful that one senator read the bill at least ( or most of it).
