That's why they tie these bills in as such. They can demonize nays as standing against the one decent thing there. It's a fucking trash heap with a cherry on top. Get shit on if you don't eat the cherry.

It's bullshit. Every bill should be 5 pages max and on one issue max. I want people to have to read thier single issue bills out loud and be laughed out of office. It would cut into tons of the special interest shit that is ruining the system.

Any bill over 5 pages needs a week of review

I'm holding strong to no bill over five. It's already too long at that point to explain a single issue vote.

I just want the sponsors to have to read everything out loud. No more hiding behind the shroud of a giant pork package. Let's see these morons try to validate a god damn thing if every item has to be aired.

Any bill over 5000 pages we just need to pass it to find out what’s in it.

Hell, saying "any bill needs a week of review" is revolutionary to these clown "lawmakers."

Maga party should start hiding shit in bills. Next omnibus bill i want to see a 2 term limit for all elected senate and house members, that extends to staffers. No more career politicians. Let's see how fast they read and pass that.

Pretty much. It's a symptom of the earmark backlash but has made things worse. Let every sponsor read thier shit aloud for all to hear. We can decide if it's horseshit or good shit.
