- anamax 16y ago> One hypothesis might be that a more long-lasting bill is being drafted, and this an interim solution. A more realistic hypothesis is that they've figured out that a long term approach is dumb. A bill that has to be renewed every six months gives folks two reasons a year to "help" the legislators. Remember, "reform" means "we need to get more money from supporters".
