21. Doesn't he have a staff?

Can't they all go over a piece of the bill and report back to him? A little group discussion would help make it clear what this bill is all about.
Just what is he too busy doing that he can't do his job?
This bill is deliberately long and convoluted so as to discourage the kind of scrutiny it needs. A trillion dollar "beautiful piece of shit" is what it is.
There's so much in this bill that isn't budget related that the bill needs to be rejected and cleansed from all the garbage that's in it, and then resubmitted.
I'll bet if they did that the bill would be about 1/3 as long as it is now.
Not only is Flood afraid to challenge Trump, he's also too lazy to read the GD bill!
I think he should resign. He's not worthy to be in the Congress making decisions that shape the future of the nation.
