Single Line Item Bills for House & Senate
Shorten bills being proposed to single line items instead of lumping together several issues that do not correspond to each other.
Why is this important?
Shortening bills being proposed to single line items instead of lumping together several issues that do not correspond to each other. This would substantially eliminate favors, earmarks, pork & blackmail. A common sense bill that everyone agrees on, such as recent Income Tax Holiday Extension could get signed thru without all the drama that large bills take on. Senate reviews a proposal, hammers out the details & sends it onto the house, for their review/modification & passes on. Example... recent extension of the income tax holiday lumped with unemployment insurance extension, & oil pipeline snuck in as bonus, should have been three seperate bills. 2011 was a stalemate in DC because the bills were too big, too lumped together. No one was ever happy with EVERYTHING, so NOTHING got done. Citizens have been terribly disappointed with our representatives, & this is one way to make sure they are actually earning their income & benefits by working harder for us, instead of saying NO to everything. This is fair for both parties, it still may be bypartisan, but common sense hopefully will prevail.
