Time spent on any item of the agenda will be in inverse proportion to the sum involved.
This could be funny but it's true , in Portugal everybody is happy with a discussion of the new Lisbon Airport , politicians will vote in 5 minutes something that costs 8 or 10 billion euros , they just can't comprehend the size, and they reach a yes in 5 min without asking if there is a need for a new airport in the first place.
If they are deciding the supplier of coffee in the parliament they would spend hours , it's something they can do some calculations.
lesson:
If you want to pass something fast make it big behind comprehension
