It's what I've been saying for a long time -- laws should automatically
expire after a year and the politicians should have to debate and pass
them again if they want them to be renewed... At the very least, it should
keep them busy enough that only the important ones are kept around and
they have less time to come up with new bull**** ones... Sometimes, the
best thing that the legislature can do is do nothing...

I was thinking that the best way would be a word limit. Say, a million
words of law at the State level, the same for local, and perhaps half
a million words of law at the Federal level.

That way, if they want to pass a new law after the limit is reached,
they have to find something else to remove.
