  Well, it's clearly not working.

    There is certainly a level of disfunction that it can’t overcome and we may have reached that.

  My state has a rule restricting bills to one thing, and it seems to work pretty well.

    Well I don’t know which star you mean but a lot of them are not divided the way then federal government is.

      Sure, and mine is definitely not divided. But there have been contentious issues despite being predominantly one party.

      I’d honestly rather a bill take much longer to pass than have a bunch of nonsense thrown in.

        I think it’s a good method for achieving compromise. If the various factions perceive more benefit than cost, the bill passes. Obviously some bad things get snuck in, but you get good things out of it as well.

        Even if your personal calculus is that this bill does more harm then good, I don’t think banning this method is a good idea.
