OH THE HUGEMANATEE!
The Sewer Rats of DC also gave us:

The TSA
The Patriot Act
The EPA
The IRS
The Department of Energy
The Department of Education
And on and on and on.

I'm not saying everything that all of these things do is bad (I'm sure I could find SOMETHING good in each of them if I looked hard enough, though the task might prove difficult).

But any time you set up a Federal program, the things that follow are huge bureaucracies that need more and more money, more and more people, more and more real estate and more and more legislation/red tape to justify their existence.

Remember what John Dingell said about healthcare reform. “The harsh fact of the matter is when you’re passing legislation that will cover 300 million American people in different ways, it takes a long time to do the necessary administrative steps that have to be taken to put the legislation together to control the people.”

Bills like these are sort of like jobs programs for the Sewer Rats union.

I have read the bill. But I just don't trust 'em because once the law is in place, revisions become easy to do on the sly.
