you can squeeze any law into other laws, they are called riders. in some cases the barrier of entry is extremely low because the host-bill is required to open the government or something very time sensitive.
the point is that the electorate doesn't care and you don't want them to.
- RobRivera 6y agoOk great. Brb I'll be calling my congressman for my local pork needs to be amended to the next defense budget bill. While I'm at it i could use some extra barrels for shipping. Most people do not have this purported easy access to Capitol Hill it is not trivial to get it done under a certa8n amount of fiscal influence. Please qualify your use of the word easy with numbers please, else its just empty words
- vmception 6y agoAs I wrote earlier, easier than before because the country is so polarized and incumbent special interests decided - like the general population - to move to the far fringes of their ideology as a future investment into the country leaving representatives pretty unoccupied this session. Not extremely easy because Congress is not passing many bills.
- RHSeeger 6y agoA lot of people, including myself, believe that adding completely unrelated items onto a billis completely unacceptable. Putting a high priority bill at risk for an unrelated pet topic is selfish and wrong.
