This stimulus bill actually proves that our congress is a lie.

Most people believe that bills are authored and presented by a congressperson, then read and understood by the rest of congress, and finally voted up or down based solely on merit.

In reality, bills are authored by lawyers working for lobbies who represent special interests and donors. Congresspeople present these bills on behalf of their masters. The rest of congress votes yes or no based entirely on party affiliation and/or the orders handed down by their own lobbyists, donors, special interests, etc.

This is how Washington has operated for decades. It's corrupt and evil, and everyone knows it. But they've always been able to shield themselves with a degree of plausible deniability. You can't prove they didn't personally author the bill. You can't prove they didn't read it before voting yes.

That works when the bill is a hundred pages long. But what if a bill is so comically long that it is impossible for only four congresspeople to have written it alone? And even more impossible that the rest of congress has read and understood it in the space of just a few hours?

This stimulus bill, at more than 5,500 pages, completely shatters their plausible deniability. It is not plausible that just four congresspeople legitimately negotiated a bill of this size. It is not plausible that every member of congress, or even any member of congress, has read and understood a bill of this size in just 2-3 hours.

The only remaining plausible explanation for any of this is the truth: four congresspeople, negotiating in secret, copy-pasted thousands of pages of legislative grift handed down to them by their lobbyist and special interest masters, and then almost every other member of congress rubber-stamped a bill they didn't read because their lobbyist and special interest masters told them to do so.

Congress has fully revealed their illegitimatecy. They should be forcibly disbanded.
