How are they supposed to know what's in it if they don't pass it?

The bill is 154-pages and includes several provisions that are unrelated to the fiscal cliff, including repealing a section of ObamaCare, extending the wind-energy tax credit, and a rum tax subsidy deal for Puerto Rican rum makers.

Don't worry. The bill will sit on the president's desk for 5 days. Everyone has those 5 days to read it online before Obama signs it.
