The ethics of congress are so compromised that they are incapable of producing legislation that benefits the citizens of the USA.

“The ethics of congress are so compromised that they are incapable of producing legislation that benefits the citizens of the USA.”

The major problem is the hundreds of thousands of competing laws and regulations which, no matter what you do, you are bound to run counter to one or more. When I took a course in criminal law back in the late 80s, I was taught that the act of murder could involve, IIRC ~70,000 laws/rules or regulations.

My law prof said the same applied, more or less to any criminal offense.
