    America Mired in Morass of Laws and Regulations

    While simple and generic, I found this to be interesting.

    America has too many laws, and the laws we do have are tedious, overly complex and sometimes not only impossible to understand, but impossible to comply with. Our elected officials pass laws in fits of whimsy, responding to the latest scare headlines, demands from interest groups or data from polling firms. Reason, freedom or constitutional authority rarely enter into the debate.

    Daze,

    I remember when Gingrich said that the Pubbies would have one "correction day" a month, where they re-visited laws that had unintended consequences.

    I always thought that there should be 29 "correction days" and one regular session.
    And, frankly, it has never occured to me that "winning" a debate is important, or that I should be hurt when someone like Airshark or kah, among others (for whom winning a pseudo debate or declaring intellectual superiority over invisible others is obviously very important) ridicule me.

      A good reason for having "part time" politicians...

        I thought the 5 year renewal idea was very interesting...

        Your right, they certainly don't need 29 days of law "making"
