CURRENT CRISIS #4

GERMANENESS: In Indiana, there is a requirement in the legislative process that amendments must be germane to the primary subject of the bill they address. Although there is probably a certain amount of “fudging” allowed, Linden believes that the limitations are well intentioned and should be emulated at the federal level.

In recent days, much has been written, including some by Linden, about various aspects of what has been described as a financial crisis. Can you believe that the bill addressing this matter started as being about four pages long and ended up at over 400 pages? This means that there must have been about 395 pages of trash in the final product. Trash such as addressing matters related to rum producers, arrow makers, wool, auto racing and film & TV. Can you believe that these clowns are our employees? Perhaps a more serious effort to replace the deadwood should be initiated. Term limits anyone?
