Do-nothing Congress...
- Thread starter The Tradition
- Start date
It would take a new law to repeal an old one. Your proposition is illogical.
Hell, let’s just get rid of congress and crown Trump king. I gotta think plenty of Republicans would be down for that.

Hard to say really. You pass a law just to get rid of one and imagine what might happen? I’m sure Trad thinks nothing because all those laws are useless or worse. That may be true in some cases. But it’s more likely that old law was fulfilling some useful functions that matter to someone. So now you have to replace the old law. And getting new laws passed is a lot harder than it used to be. So you likely have to pass many new laws to address what one old law accomplished. Like most things Trad champions, they are more complex than he realizes.
Sure. That would explain the $4 TRILLION budget and the death of old programs like TVA and a list too long to mention...for bandwidth's sake.
My goal is to cut government in half in twenty-five years, to get it down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub.

Oh, you're sooooo nuanced.
Is there any reason why Statute 18 U.S.C. § 336 makes it a federal crime to issue “any note, check, memorandum, token, or other obligation for a less sum than $1” in lieu of money?
I have received refund checks for less than $1. We hung them on the fridge as a joke. Didn't know it was a violation of federal law. Who enforces this?
Clearly some executives who hate the constitution. That’s what cons claimed recently about non enforcement of laws.
Ahh yes...the non-answer answer. Caught with another bad case of diarrhea of the keyboard.
I think a do nothing Congress is built in to the checks and balances system, and it's not a bad thing. The idea is that laws don't change unless you have large diverse majorities, nor should they.
I don't think they planned on the you scratch my back I'll take money from this lobbyist and vote for your bill kind of thing we have going on now.

Not from you. You never answer the questions. In this case, my response was tongue in cheek. Nevertheless, you pathetically attempt to save face with deflection or bad humor.
Can you name for us all the bad laws that were repealed?
I’m sure he would start with those pesky wager and labor laws. Minimum wage. Gone. Workers protection. Gone. Child labor? The free loading kids need to work. No need for any overtime. Let the corporate overlords rule. They don’t have anywhere near enough money. As long as workers can afford two cars, they need to be further oppressed.
I'm glad you brought that up.
The Fair Labor Standards Act was passed into law in the 1930s. It was sort of easy to enforce in a unionized factory environment where a whistle blew to tell workers when to start work and stop work.
Today when everyone has a work device in his or her (or they's) pocket, the law doesn't work so well....
Quit being a poor and find an ISP that doesn't cap you. Then you aren't limited on typing out your "slightly more intelligent than OiT" conspiracy nonsense.
