In all of the raised voices from congress critters on this subject, I have seen no one mention this.
Which begs the question:
Does congress actually know the law?
They do not read or write the laws they pass.
I’ve been looking at the law the last few hours and ran across this section.
Doesn’t it say that Congress has on the order of 2 YEARS to review major changes?
No. Did they read Obamacare?
I seriously doubt it.
No one person can know every bit of federal law. There's just too damn much of it. The individual pages would probably span the entire continent by now.
I'm sure most here would agree, that the next few congresses should stop legislating entirely, and do nothing but abolish laws on the books. Three or four sessions of Congress just might reduce the pile to a sane and manageable level.
They are so busy studying campaign finance law for loopholes, they really don't have time for the other stuff.
