So the member is moved by people from the district who want them to support this program, which may be millions of dollars, including a $1.5 trillion bill.
So members have a motivation to vote for it.
Now, I didn't vote for it because I knew it was going to go for war, and I'm opposed to that.
but members have jobs at stake, so they want to vote for the bill.

And members then have to look, well, how am I going to vote?
Because they'll be attacked if they vote against something for their district, right?
This is a diabolical construction that's occurring here legislatively.
You put a bill to defend the country, which is excessive to the nth degree, and you fold into it this proposal for a merger.
You know, members are going to be hard-pressed with a vote on this.
But the ultimate issue is if you give up sovereignty, if you give up independence, that is the overarching concern, not where does this money go.

Well, the way the bill is crafted, you know, groups of people get together, various interest groups.
They go to the committee.
They give their ideas of what they want, and a bill is produced.
And somebody came in with this thing, ah, let's put this merger in.
But why not just vote on that?
