Furthermore every new law passed in Congress must be accompanied by the removal of three others. Trim the fat and get rid of some of the stupid/outdated laws on the books. The inherent problem with democratic government is that if legislators aren't constantly inventing new issues (and laws to "solve" them), it's easy for them to be painted as "do-nothing". Sad, but unavoidable. As such, over time is you get what we have today - bloated, unmanageable codes of laws and regulations covering EVERYTHING from birth to death (inclusive) and covering everything from how we have sex to how we take a ****. It's ridiculous. We need to find ways to make REVIEW of laws (new and existing) as important as pumping them out by the thousands. Expiration dates or "sunset clauses" would be good in a lot of them. Fewer laws, fewer lawsuits, fewer lawyers and increased PERSONAL accountability to deal with problems. Probably a good thing to allow (and force) people to resolve their OWN problems instead of relying on "the system" to play mommy constantly. It will make us stronger and more individually (and collectively) self-reliant in the long run.
