Domestic Affairs
A constitutional amendment that every 5 or 7 years should be a houseclean year
might not be a bad idea.
And by housecleaning I mean that the committees in Congress which moved a law
along should have to look at their work and see if the law achieved the results that
they intended. In other words, is the law working?
Domestic policy is the area that has the most contention and is the most
convoluted. It is usually talked about in the aggregate. But what is each individual
component? How are they organized? What are their budgets? What do they do?
Can it be done another way? Do we really need this component of domestic policy?
Hardly anyone looks at this issue.
The libertarians of course have the solution of merely eliminating the component
and letting "market forces" handle the situation. Unfortunately, radical reordering of
the way things are done is not really a solution that can be done. The system is too
complex and too mixed together to easily survive this sort of change.
