The Problems With Today's Lawmaking

Some key points:

*Democrats tend to be more itneresting in legislating than in managing.

*Most bills are designed for passage, not implementation. They are stuffed with special provisions inserted by lobbyiss and predatory politicians. They are empretzeled with circuitous funding mechanmisms. It is no major, and even minro, pieces of legislation these days are blast-wall thick, running to thousands of pages.

*Three types of people tend to seek government work: idealists, those looking for sinecures, and those who want to build lucrative private-sector careers based on their knowledge of government regulations. All three types present problems.
