The problem is the U.S. has too many laws.

99% of laws increase the size and power of government.

So all previous and future laws must be be made to expire after 3 years. Then if that law is really needed then it will be passed again in 3 years. The problem is once democrats pass a law like Obamacare then it is forever, forever growing government agencies and spending like a cancer.

almost all laws reduce people’s freedoms.Example the law that created and authorize the TSA.

Almost all laws cripple private businesses and so the people's opportunity to get good jobs. Example the law that created the EPA. Now the EPA will use global warming rulings from the Supreme Court to basically shut down and new coal power plants, any new manufacturing, any new factory, etc. Look this up.

Almost all laws have mandatory spending like the laws that mandate social security , medicare ,medicaid that alone mandates over a trillion dollars in annual spending.

Not sure i ever heard of the 1% that doesn’t increase the size and power of Government.

But otherwise I completely agree, we need to find away to abolish laws that is easyer then passing them. Thats why i support state nullification and repeal as long as it is EASIER the it was for congress to pass the laws in the first place.

the burden of support should NOT be on the side of repeal but on the side of the law existing.

I also agree with the contention that every act of congress should not be authorized to last more then a generation. 3 years is perhaps a bit too close, but I would gladly accept such a restriction. Of course if we simply made it so that 30% of the legislators could repeal any offensive act of congress we might just end up with a 3 year life span for acts of congress anyway. (God willing shorter).
