The Omnibus: 3 x 24 = 72

"The House is set to pass a trillion dollar spending bill. Sources say we can expect the bill to be posted online sometime close to midnight tonight. I have no doubt that the bill will include all kinds of hidden earmarks and spending gimmicks. But the clever bill writers will make these hard to find. This is why it is so important that the public and Members of Congress have a chance to read the bill before it comes to the House floor.

Here is Speaker Boehner himself promising “a 72 hour review period for all major bills

The big spenders understand that, like dead fish, the longer these bills sit in the sun, the more they stink. This is why they have the bill locked in a file cabinet somewhere and will keep it there until the very last minute in hopes that the public will not discover the shenanigans until the bill is already signed into law."
