Sounds about right, most policies are passed on their performative aspects. When you really sit down and read the law you often find the performative reason that was cited isn't even true.
Unfortunately both sides do something similar, It seems that modern legislative practices lead to incredibly broad and poorly written policy that can be interpreted and almost any direction. I think it’s like that by design. But it’s so watered down and meaningless that it’s just a feel good title with a bunch of bullshit stuffed into it.
Yes, I do believe this is done on purpose. This combined with shitty concepts like omnibus bills with riders ensures policy gets passed that should have never seen the light of the day.
I honestly can’t believe how much bullshit they stuff into the budget every year. I guess it’s just been accepted that every must pass tight Bill has to be stuffed chock full of the worst most vile stupid legislation ever. No politician wants to risk their career election campaign trying to pass some dystopian corporate bootlicker policies. So they just shove it every budget bill hoping that no one will read the thousands of pages to catch their loopholes.
