(95,255 posts)What she said was that people would find out what was in the bill once it was passed, and she said it because Republicans were shrieking lies about what the bill contained, and too many people were gulled by these shit-heels yawps. Once the bill was passed and operating, people would know the shrieks of 'death panels' and 'holocaust for seniors' and 'can't see your doctor' were a great pile of bullshit.

Although at least the Senate voted to have a vote in Trumps tax cut BEFORE the scoring from CBO was available. It might have been done but Mitch got the vote done before anyone got the jaw dropping numbers.

The above authorized the Tax cuts for the Wealthy.
708 pages for H. Rept. 115-466 - TAX CUTS AND JOBS ACT (the "Conference Report" that included the tax cut bill legislation that was rolled into the above reconciliation bill)
Here is the timeline (final portion starting with the draft Conference report done by a Committee of the GOP-controlled House and reconciled with the GOP-controlled Senate, that would be put up for a vote, done as "reconciliation" )
12/22/2017 | Became Public Law No: 115-97.
12/22/2017 | Signed by President.
12/21/2017 | Presented to President.
12/20/2017 | Resolving differences -- House actions: On motion that the House agree to the Senate amendment Agreed to by the Yeas and Nays: 224 - 201 (Roll no. 699).(text: CR H10261-10308)
12/19/2017 | Conference report agreed to in House: On agreeing to the conference report Agreed to by the Yeas and Nays: 227 - 203 (Roll no. 692).
12/15/2017 | Conference report filed: Conference report H. Rept. 115-466 filed.(text of conference report: CR H9943-10142)
In summary, the above bill to be voted on that passed the House and was sent to the Senate, gave Senators one day to review, where they added an amendment (possibly one that was "an Amendment as a Substitute) and passed it, sending it back to the House again, where in yet another one day limit for review with over 2000 pages, was passed again in its final form and ready to send to 45.
It was engrossed and given to 45 the following day and he signed it the day after that.
So it went from initial version ready to vote on in both chambers, to enacted law in 3 days.
And note, there were government C.R.s and funding bills that were being dealt with concurrent with this.

(129,543 posts)and you bet it is a million times worse than what they are whining and moaning about.
99 pages versus 708 pages (standalone tax cuts) and 2053 pages (total) rammed through from final review/amendment to becoming law in "72 hours".
