I agree with you that it is problematic to have our laws become labrythine. A time limit should be affixed to all new laws, forcing their phaseout or at least for them to be re-visited over time.

Finally we agree on something.

The sunset clause in the Patriot Act is expected to be removed shortly.

All laws should have such clauses and we need hard limits on the volume of law. How about a 2 for 1 trade in. Each new law costs 2 old ones.

Boy, do I like that idea! Nothing Congress likes to do more than pass new laws. This way we could insure they simplify the legal code as they went to create new laws. Not a bad idea at all.
