Uh oh! Any time you hear that word ‘comprehensive’ coming from Congress it should set off all kinds of alarms at every level. As an earlier poster pointed out this was the mantra with immigration. Turns out Congress Critters like a comprehensive plan because that code for them to load it up with all sorts of pet projects, knowing it be just to darned big and expansive for anyone to know what's in it.
Legislation should limited to a single subject and any amendment offered should be required to deal with that single subject.
So much of what ails us today has to do with a Congress that has gone on for over 200 years now piling rule upon rule, each one designed to get around a legitimate concern about what they are doing. Who would have imagined 100 years ago that the Senate would be kept in session, albeit only in the barest sense of the word, just to keep the President from making recess appointments to fill vacancies left unattended by an obstructionist Senate?
We are beyond the point of saving the current set up. The only solution will be a total collapse of the system and going back to ground zero to rebuild the process.
Also, before voting on any bill, each legislator should be required to sign a sworn affidavit under penalty of perjury stating that he or she has personally read the bill in its entirety.
