That's not to say they couldn't be simplified, but limiting everything to a handful of pages takes that too far and creates more loopholes than a long bill, not less.
Glad to see someone is sane enough in this matter. Sometimes I feel that the ultraconservatives think that the US will have a future if the diag is turned back to 1800s.
