Hey...I admit that Boehner waving the 1900+ bill makes great political theater!

When the version is double-spaced, with oversized fonts and only printed across half the page!
Members get a detailed section-by-section summary w/o all the legal references to existing US Code....as well as detailed briefings by the majority (or minority) staff.
And, in addition to the fact sheets, the public has access to easy-to-read four or ten page summaries which come right from the bill and are not opinion.
