Two views of scale
The House health care bill unveiled Thursday clocks in at 1,990 pages and about 400,000 words. With an estimated 10-year cost of $894 billion, that comes out to about $2.24 million per word.
or
435 members of the House 100 members of the Sentate 1 occupant of the White House (unless he's playing golf)That's 536 copies (at minimum) x 1,990 pgs each = 1, 066,640 pages!!!
Or 2,133 packs of standard printer/copier paper.
How many trees is that?
