Since the 90s Congress has run amok implementing laws that favor the rich over the People, or passing foolish laws to pander to the media. (Should you have any doubt, remember that in the middle of the financial crisis, Congress held hearings on baseball – a **game** played for entertainment.)
All laws should have a clearly stated purpose and a clearly stated cost. Five years out the OBM / GSA should audit the results of each law and if it fails to accomplish its purpose or is substantially more costly than promised, it should automatically be repealed.
