Good legislation doesn't need thousands and thousands of pages. Remember when Nancy Pelosi said they had to pass Obamacare so we could see what's in it?
Yeah, that's crappy legislation done by crappier legislators.
That's why this from Thomas Massie is so damn good. Sadly, we doubt it will go anywhere but it's not hard for anyone to understand and it would save our public school system.
This is how it's done:
Thomas Massie (@RepThomasMassie) ~ I introduced a HR 899, a one sentence bill to eliminate the Department of Education.
There. It. Is.
Finally.
Now we just need one-sentence bills ending the IRS, DOJ, and a few others that at this point have really worn out their welcome.
For starters, we need to eliminate at least half of the federal "departments" in the presidential cabinet. Wasted money, wasted space, wasted breath, and 99% detrimental to American citizens.

Chris Loesch (@ChrisLoesch) ~ Brilliant.
Deb V (@Deb_Veik) ~ Are you the ONLY ONE who actually does anything?? Sheesh!
It certainly does feel that way sometimes.
...
Alex Nitzberg (@alexnitzberg) ~ An excellent bill that should be passed, but probably never will be.
Sad, but true. Many Republicans talk a big game but when it comes down to putting their money where their mouths are, they tend to sort of wilt and hide behind talking points someone else wrote for them.
Welcome to politics.
But we'll keep an eye on this one - DEFINITELY.
