Good morning. It is Tuesday, December 20th. It is six minutes after 11. You're listening to the

Kennel and Casey show on 93 W IBC. So Congress is set to vote on a 4,155 page 1.7 trillion dollar

government funding bill within the next couple of days. Okay. So this is a huge, huge package.

And it seems that they're trying to rush this right on through before winter break. And let's try

and break it down. The package includes $858 billion in defense funding. That's a 10% increase.

of the public education system. So let's say you could read. And so I mean, we're telling the

impossible here, there's no way you could read and understand. Trust me, someone who used to read

and attempt to understand government documents, there's no way you could read and understand it.

But let's just pretend that you could read and fully digest. All right. So 60 pages a minute

times 24 hours is 1,440. So 4,155 divided by 1,440 would mean if you read nonstop and never

slept for 2.88 days, you could conceivably read read this whole document. And they're going to

I'm going to guarantee that they'll vote on it before Christmas. Well, that's the plan. Nobody

reads anything. They have no idea what's in any of this. And the Republicans are going to give it
