I congratulate the Speaker for understanding the importance of efficiently managing floor time. I am envious of this speed. I will also remind everyone that soon the Senate will have to vote on a bill containing a massive, reckless new tax on the stock market and we wont be allowed to debate it even for 50 seconds, so the idea that important policy changes require debate is apparently not true.
Is this sarcasm?
No. Unfortunately i wont have the chance to raise any of my objections to the dumb stock market tax when the dumb helios bill hits the senate floor. So given that, I see no harm in LT literally giving everyone 24 hours to agree to vote while still having the power to object, and also to debate the issue. You can still debate the issue during the 24 hrs and that assumes no one objects. I would object to voting on an awful new tax without discussion but that power is denied to me.
