They say no information would be transmitted,

We all need to keep in mind that when they say that they're going to pass a law, that really means NOTHING. All laws are subject to revision. Both through acts of Congress and conference committees.

Who was it? Lott? that said that laws were made to wash out in conference committees?

Sorry. The point here was that just because they pass a 3% tax today, a year from now, there's absolutely nothing from stopping them from passing a revision, hidden as a rider to another totally unconnected bill, raising it to 10%.

How'd Reagan the Great put it? A govt tax is the closest to immortality that most of us will ever see.

Or it gets revised a few years later to make it even more worse.

” All laws are subject to revision. Both through acts of Congress and conference committees. “

The latest legislative fad is to avoid the responsibility of ‘legislating’ by writing bills so vague that they leave everything important to the discretion of an unelected, unaccountable, bureaucratic/regulatory body...
