Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) pointed out how large the $1.7 trillion omnibus bill is by posting a photo with it.

The photo shows Paul standing behind a cart with the bill.

“I wonder how long it would take the clerk to read this…” Paul tweeted.

The Hill noted Congress is expected to vote on the 4,155-page bill within days after it was released this week.

Users on Twitter appeared to agree with the Paul that the length was a bit much.

One user tweeted, “This is insane.”

Another wrote, “This is what the $1.7 Trillion 4,155 page spending bill looks like. Decision makers have 4 days to read it, iterate and vote on it. This process is a joke. Americans need a better system.”

According to The Hill, the bill consists of the 12 annual appropriations bills that will fund the government and its agencies through the 2023 fiscal year, ending in late September.

Among the items included in the bill are an increase in defense spending and more than $40 billion in aid for Ukraine.

Additionally, legislation introduced by Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) to prohibit TikTok from being used on government phones and devices is also included, as The Hill reported.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) touted the bill on Monday as a win for Republicans.

“The administration wanted to cut funding for our armed forces after inflation while massively increasing spending on nondefense. Republicans have taken the president’s bizarre position and flipped it on its head,” he said while speaking on the Senate floor.

McConnell declared the “bill that our colleagues have negotiated equips our armed forces with the resources they need while cutting nondefense, non-veterans spending in real dollars.”

He added, “This is a strong outcome for Republicans, and much more importantly, it’s the outcome that our nation’s security needs.”
