EP132: Why People Call Me About Big Beautiful Bill - Gracearchy with Jim Babka

Why do people keep calling Jim Babka about “One Big Beautiful Bill?" Because they know that the co-author of the Read the Bills Act and One Subject at a Time Act could explain why it's anything but beautiful. Jim reacts to Vice President J.D. Vance’s candid comments on how Congress really works including why bills are unread, rules are skipped, and lawmakers vote on legislation they don’t understand. You'll hear how massive omnibus bills are packed with hidden agendas. And you'll get brilliant solutions to these problems! [**Jim and Bill had to do bad, verbal impressions of Theo Von and V.P. Vance because of an unfounded copyright claim.**] NOTES: Theo Von podcast link - https://youtu.be/GbJsQk4rbBw EP38: Three Laws to Get Congress Under Control - https://youtu.be/HXv-26pa-Hc Read the Bills Act - https://downsizedc.org/act/read-the-bills-act-2/ One Subject at a Time Act - https://downsizedc.org/act/one-subject-at-a-time-act/ The Mike Flood and Marjorie Taylor Greene stories - https://downsizedc.org/big-unread-bill/ CHAPTERS 0:00 Theme 0:25 At the Legislative Sausage Factory 3:25 Production Notice 5:12 Why are bills so big? 12:52 You'll lose the beautiful stuff! 16:43 Why they Cluster-Fill bills 21:21 The quietest part out loud 25:08 Why Congress doesn't improve its rules 28:46 Why Reps want One Subject at a Time 32:21 How Read the Bills Act works 34:57 How One Subject at a Time works 35:51 The enforcement mechanism 37:35 Fiduciary responsibility CREDITS Bill Protzmann is your moderator.
