Unfortunately it’s not just defense spending that gets these riders. Most bills do, and it’s awful.

All bills should state a scope, and anything outside of it should be in a different bill. If that means voting on 200+ additional bills, so be it. Or even package those into a ‘cleanup’ bill to take care of any miscellaneous items that don’t fit cleanly elsewhere.

This is exactly what I’m talking about. Packing a bunch of extra crap into a must pass bill without any hearings or discovery phase is BS. It’s one of the biggest things contributing to corruption at the federal level.

Money laundering is one of the biggest things contributing to corruption at the federal level. And he just voted to not stop money laundering.
