Only the government can write something so garbled that it would take a team of lawyers to read through it….bug or feature?

They should write a version explaining each section of the act that a junior high school student could read and understand, that would give the average American an idea of what the fuck they are backing or fighting. This should be required of all laws or regulations being considered.

Right now all we can do is take a politicians word for what it does, and that should scare the hell out of all of us.
