Stupid Bill of the Day
Congress almost enjoys wasting time and money. When they’re not orchestrating a wholesale takeover of the health care industry, they’re naming post offices or introducing worthless bills.
Take H.R. 2811, introduced by Rep. Kendrick Meek (D-FL). The legislation would “include constrictor snakes of the species Python genera as an injurious animal.” This is not a joke. Not only does Rep. Meek waste our money but he apparently enjoys making the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) suffer. The CBO put a price tag on the bill and estimated that it will not significantly impact federal spending. Hurray.
Maybe Rep. Meek saw this movie too many times?
