Because even in the best case scenario, you’d have to wait a half decade before getting that supposed 200%.

That’s assuming it passes at all. A bill must get actually passed by both houses of congress and signed into law by the president. Until then, it’s vaporware.

And then, once a bill is passed, someone has to enforce it, and that enforcement likely has to work its way through the court system.
