The statistical average for a person to read any material....in an hour....is about fifty pages (double-spaced). If this is science, engineering or medical-related material....it's in the 35 to 40 pages per hour. If this is some teen-vampire-fantasy stuff....maybe seventy pages per hour (if you were obsessed with the stuff).
So when Pelosi introduced her 1,400 page funding document bill.....the reality is that no one in the House or Senate is going to read the entire bill. You can imagine this pdf-document arriving at Senator So-v-So's office, and Wanda (the secretary) goes and prints out the whole thing. The staff would gather around this document, and the Senator would shed a tear or two.....knowing that they might be able to read five-hundred pages of this at best.
Personally, I'd to see a House-Senate 'rule' to be created, that no bill can be more than what you can read in a two-hour period (roughly 100 pages). Then put this up to vote upon. Then proceed to bill #2, bill #3, and so on.
What the Pelosi team wants....is a document that is too broad and demanding....so that no one reads the whole thing. A democracy running on the creation in an average year of 32,000 pages....of which no one ever reads more than 10-percent of the documentation? Yeah.
Then you toss in the fact that almost one-third of the Senators are over the age of sixty-five, and just asking them to read fifty pages over an entire day.....is a joke.
