The wall street bailout bill is so important to get passed quickly...
... that there is time to tack on 40 amendments (when I stopped counting, there may be hundreds). The amendments only change the bill size from 113 pages to 451. Quick, vote yes, we don't have time to analyze all of this!!!! You wouldn't want zingers such as the following to slip by without a yes would you!? :
"Seven-year cost recovery period for motorsports racing track facility."
"Permanent authority for undercover operations."
"Accelerated depreciation for business property on Indian reservations."
Don't forget the ever important ammendment:
"Short title."
