It&amp;#x27;s absurd that everyone is forced to evaluate and have a single opinion&amp;#x2F;vote on all these completely separate issues as a unit. How much political BS is hiding in these massive bills, quid-pro-quo, back scratching, intentionally opaque text that nobody can understand the implications of until long after it&amp;#x27;s been jammed through... its &lt;i&gt;disgusting&lt;/i&gt;&lt;p&gt;We should outlaw bills like these.</text></comment>
