It is exactly what they are suggesting, because that is how it works in the Land of the Free[1]. Bills are usually written by lobbiests, paid large sums by the entrenched industries, and sponsored by congressmen who received large donations from the industry. Unless there is a real threat to votes (aka job security) these are passed. The only things that get serious attention and debate are the ones where 2 industries are fighting via congress proxies.
Sad, but true.
[1] Free is not an absolute scale, but proportional to the amount of money you can spend - e.g. lots of money means more freedom to pass laws, to get out of trouble, to buy licenses to do restricted things, etc.
