It would be nice to have simplified government and policy. But even over many decades. it is impossible to imagine government getting less complicated. given the dizzying pace and complexity of the world economy. and the nature of governance in a $6 trillion domestic economy. Does anyone really believe that immigration laws. environmental regulations. trade rules. budget decisions. health policy and stock market regulation are complex because professional lawmakers conspire to make them so for their own advantage? They are complex because the world is complex and because a modern society of 250 million people requires a difficult balance among huge numbers of interests. If we had amateurs writing Medicare provisions. drafting laws for food and drug inspection or deciding clean air provisions. it might give us simpler laws.
