Part 2/7:
The speaker begins by illustrating just how unwieldy the bill's actual size is. While the bill itself is only about 2,000 pages, once all the accompanying explanations, directives, and earmarks are included, the total climbs to over 6,000 pages. This sheer volume makes thorough review impractical for any individual legislator. As a result, many members pass legislation without fully understanding every aspect, enabling the inclusion of provisions that may serve special interests or lack justification.
