Simplify!

Doesn't this quote describe the "laws" of today!

"It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of their own choice if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood; if they be repealed or revised before they are promulgated, or undergo such incessant changes that no man, who knows what the law is today, can guess what it will be tomorrow.  Law is defined to be a rule of action; but how can that be a rule, which is little known and less fixed?"
(James Madison, Federalist Papers, No. 62, p. 381)

It's time to simplify!

I have read quite a bit of the the "bail-out bill", the "health care bill" and others.  "Voluminous" and "incoherent" seem perfect words to describe most of our laws.  I think James Madison would be sad to see his words being fulfilled in such ridiculous lengthy legislation as our lawmakers are spewing forth.
