Promise to give as many people as you can one dollar for every member of Congress who read the entire 1500-plus pages of the stimulus bill. In turn they have to pay you one dollar for every member of congress who did not read the entire stimulus bill. You should come out well ahead.
Far-fetched? Recall that someone challenged members of Congress to read the entire original Patriot Act. Only one member took up the challenge, read the entire bill, and voted no.
Maybe we need a Constitutional amendment that Congress shall pass no bill that is longer than the original Constitution. Maybe Congress will pass fewer bills and many more that will actually work as intended.
