I love that this keeps coming up now. I posted a potential solution in another story[0] which sounds like it won't work, but during the course of the thread I found out about the Single Subject Amendment PAC[1]. Their mission is to convene a Constitutional convention in order to limit bills in Congress to a single subject (eliminating riders, which is IMO more important than bill names) and, at least judging by the example they cite from Florida's state constitution[2] ensure that deceptive or meaningless rah-rah names cannot be used for bills. As of January 2015, Florida was the first and only state so far to call for this amendment. Given that 41 state constitutions already have similar provisions in place and it takes only 37 to force a convention, it seems like the biggest stumbling block for national support may simply be a lack of public awareness that the solution's already got some momentum.
