Dick Durbin: Speed Reader

According to Senator Durbin's math: Every Senator had 2,768 minutes to read 3,417 pages of legislative text that included next year's spending for every domestic program of the entire federal government and many new policy changes.

According to Senator Durbin's math: A Senator that downloaded the bill when it was posted at 12:15 a.m. Monday morning would have had to:

• Read nearly 1 ¼ pages of the bill every minute for 46 hours and 8 minutes,
• No sleep,
• No eating,
• No bathroom breaks.

So Durbin modified the Internet in such a way to make people capable of reading more quickly?

Durbin's an idiot.

Nice to see Durbin welcoming all of us to the world of the internet. At least it's a world that never sleeps. If you read a little less than 1.5 pages a minute without stopping, you could read through this bill in its entirity. Now as for thinking about that bill... And how do you vote on ALL of a 3400 page bill? Utterly absurd. Our government is way, way, way too big.

Dick Durbin cares about politics, not the people.

Vatican-Jesuit puppet Ronald Reagan was good at irony. More so at lying with a charm. Thats what bad actors do.

Ask the victims of the S&L scandal.

I am from Illinois and am very ashamed of my two US Senators.  Also in that boat are the Gov., State Senate Leader, State House Leader....

I hope Mr. Turbin does not win reelection.

Government always finds a need for whatever money it gets.
