I firmly believe that will remove a lot of the corruption and influence peddling as well as money at the federal level. It will also push much of the legislation back to the state level where it belongs.

I think that's an attractive solution, however, the point where one bill becomes two bills is a judgement call. And who gets to make the judgement?

In theory it should be easily distinguished but I can see where funding a specific project could blur the lines. Probably how we arrived at the mess we are currently in. I guess if there were a challenge in that regard the courts would have to decide.

At some point you just have to let go of what you thought should happen and live in what is happening.
