No the US Congress in their political cowardliness passes objectives they wish to see, they then empower unconstitutionally the executive branch to create numerous "administrative laws" to achieve those objectives.
The Supreme Court refuses to strike down these vague laws as unconstitutional, which over the decades has grown the bureaucracy exponentially until we have at present what is in effect a 4th branch of government not answerable to any of the 3 official branch, not with out wide reaching reform, and upending of governmental structure.

This is where the I wish Jefferson would have gotten his way.. "The question Whether one generation of men has a right to bind another, seems never to have been started either on this or our side of the water… (But) between society and society, or generation and generation there is no municipal obligation, no umpire but the law of nature. We seem not to have perceived that, by the law of nature, one generation is to another as one independent nation to another… On similar ground it may be proved that no society can make a perpetual constitution, or even a perpetual law. The earth belongs always to the living generation… Every constitution, then, and every law, naturally expires at the end of 19. years. If it be enforced longer, it is an act of force and not of right." -- Thomas Jefferson...
If mockery was an argument, we wouldn't need any others. It doesn't strengthen reasons, it renders them moot. I wish we could have had a serious discussion and moved things forward a little.
The first line suggests to the reader something about the likely content of the remainder; suggests that if I respond, I will just get more of the same; suggests that the writer is just another person who follows the herd of Internet rhetoric, which doesn't bode well for insight, original thought, and expression; and it doesn't exactly put me in the mood to be open minded about ideas.
Those are just indicators. The rest of the comment could still be great, but I can't read everything.

We should start fresh every 19 years
