I propose a law that requires ALL bills put forth MUST be read verbatim on the floor before any vote can be made. And broadcast on CSPAN and anyone that wants to stream it live. That should stop the thieves from slipping shit into 5000 page boondoggles. Oh and read by the Speaker or Senate Majority Leader.

If the founding fathers didnt need more than 5 pages neither do they. Politicians of today seem to think the writ of law is there for them to try to bend the Constitution to their will. It says what it says, you knew that going into it, if you dont like it take your ass out of politics in America.

I kinda consider myself an Anarcho-Libertarian, we do what the Constitution says even if it doesnt benefit us directly, and that gets rid of 90% of function of the government today.
