Big and Bloated

Let's face it Congress is paralyzed. They can't in the right or wrong mind do a whole lot that benefit's the USA. It isn't any secret that Congress and the agencies they fund ultimately complicate policy and the laws passed by the Federal Legislature are often confusing, hard for most people to understand which in turn begs the question,  when a bill is passed and laws enacted do those who pushed the issue through congress really know what it comes out in the end. Take the Affordable Health Care Act, we have heard the countless pages of text, numerous amendments and the often quoted phrase "that no one read the bill". I made an attempt at reading the first 30 pages of the bill and was lost quickly in the mire that is legal written prose. It is extremely hard to follow and obviously many in congress did not read the whole thing, however, knowing the number of pages of original text over 800 and thousands more in amendments, it doesn't take a 5th grade education to say, hey you have too much here. Let's face it when you are Big and Bloated you do it well.
