Excellent piece

Makes you wonder about an alternative reality where we just don't name specific acts or rules-- how many people have been skeptical of getting rid of the "Paperwork Reduction Act" because it sounds good-- who would be against paperwork reduction?

Maybe mentally easier to scrap something with a name like "statue 1804 B" or whatever

YES!!! After 25 years in government, I think about this all the time… when anyone talks about the need to increase government efficiency, they should realize that amending/getting rid of this statute would be one of the most effective things they could do!
