> It’s unfortunate that our government is so inefficient that we have to pass mass bills like this at all. Efficiency in legislative process is a terrible metric for effectiveness in governance. In fact, some of the worst legislation in recent history was passed during times of greatest legislative efficiency. E.g., the PATRIOT act.
