One ITEM - One ISSUE - One BILL

Our Representatives in the House of Representatives and in the Senate waste a lot of time and money to get laws passed. This is so because they do not deal with one thing at a time and a bill that does pass both Houses is saturated with items, addendums and ‘Earmarks’ that have nothing to do with the original legislation. That’s why, hypothetically speaking, a bill on education also has aid money for the nations of India and Haiti, subsidies for tobacco farmers, restrictions on the shipment of ethanol, levee repair in California, road building in Virginia, government projects in New Mexico and so on. The finished product, if finished, is hundreds of pages long, longer than most novels, and takes teams of people, working for ‘Watch-Dog’ groups, many montths to find things they’ve slipped through. For example, the taxes collected from the sale on gasoline are not flat - they are a percentage of the dollar amount rather than the gallon amount so the more the price of gas goes up the more tax they collect. Here’s another, our congressmen and congresswomen in a bi-partisan effort have passed through to law that they receive an ‘automatic’ pay-raise and the only way they do not get a pay raise is if they vote against one when the issue arises but if they don’t vote on it, they get a pay-raise. In that way, they can go back to their constituents and say they didn’t vote for a pay-raise but they still received one. That is why the issue of a ‘Line Item Veto’ has been asked for by Presidents because there is so much ‘clutter’ to these bills that arrive on their desks; “Comprehensive” is a political codeword for ’Packed with Pork‘. Also, come campaign time, someone running for an office can honestly claim that the incumbent voted against a bill on education but doesn’t mention that the bill had 100 other items that he/she apparently didn’t approve of, or at least in it’s entirety. This is where “Pork-Barrel Politics” come in play. They bribe each other with our money - “If you support my Bill I’ll allow you x number of dollars in ‘Earmarks’ to take back to your state/district.” Then our Representatives use that come election time and say “look how many millions I’ve brought back to the state/district” when it was our money to begin with! It is well passed due for some simplification of these bills. Each Bill should have ONE Item from ONE Issue; not multiple Items and definitely not multiple Issues.
