There are plenty of countries where all government services have "expired". Which one would you like to live in?

This. And to make it even better: every law should only be about one thing, just the thing it's meant to deal with, and nothing else.

I would have them split the laws up as separate entities but let them vote on a package of laws under one vote.

I feel the current rules against earmarking has made it so they negotiate less.

Then the obstructionists will just always get what they want.

This is true. We can't view every postwar boomer institution as sacrosanct. These organizations aren't meant to grow in perpetuity.

I just wish Americans saw some of that saved money either in their pocket or public works. But the reality is probably just going to be one more missile shipped to a foreign country.

Including the military. Hell, even the constitution.

Well, looks like that problem has been solved for you!

The expiration date should be 0 seconds after it's signed.
