There is a huge problem with legislating in this country. Studies have shown that on the state level a large portion of laws passed are identical to model legislation proposed by think tanks and advocacy groups. The 2017 tax bill was massive in regards to page length but had no debate and was passed without enough time for legislators to seriously read it and provide amendments. The same issue is happening with USMCA. Journalists are pissed on Twitter and for good reason, but I hope the lesson here is that shotgun legislation is not the way to write bills. It's trendy to complain about how long it takes to get bills passed but this is the result of going too far in the other direction.
