Unless you study law. Go into any law school and ask them if there is any law that is a paragraph long.

Yikes. They are going to need more federal employees just to help people fill out the application.
Looks good. Most of those regulations are being put on insurance companies. They need it.

Laws are written by lawyers for the most part like any profession they purposely extend the need for their services. If they were one paragraph long we wouldn't need lawyers.

You think we're spending taxpayer money right now? We ran out of that earlier in the fiscal year, it's all debt now.

But that's fine because according to liberals "we don't have a debt problem because we're America and we can't have problems and because Paul Krugman said the debt was a long term problem and believe him because he has a nobel prize."
