Buck, that would mean that every single piece of legislation would have to stand on it's own merits and somethings just don't survive in full sunlight. They need to be tucked in under a larger canopy that shelters them from being burned off at the ground level I've grown very leary of the phrase "for other purposes". It most likely means SOMEONE'S pet project/proposal, or IDEAL is going to get a ride along on the coattails of a bigger bill and likely escapes any critical scrutiny or serious debate. Isn't that where sweetheart deals buy supporting votes? Reading a bill is like listening to a wordy speaker/person...about 2 minutes in, your eyes glaze over and confusion is bound to set in...regardless of one's age. I find my mind wandering aimlessly, while still trying to maintain attentiveness. I don't have ADHD, but when I've gotten into reading bills, I really begin to wonder if there is ANYONE out there that can stick with it all the way thru. I have to admire anyone with the ability to stick with the task at hand and decipher all the circles that makeup almost all legislation that comes down the pipe from Congress.
