Back on topic, can anyone explain to me why in the US it's okay for parties to add legislation conditions that have nothing to do with the legislation currently being proposed? Are bills supposed to not focus on a single topic and be very narrow in focus or am I just viewing things too much through my Canadian glasses? Not quite clear on the rules behind
Just trying to understand how a budget had a proposal slipped in to try to defund existing programs and how US legislators slip in anti-child pornography provisions into deeply unpopular proposals so congressmen have to vote on it (otherwise it looks like they pro-kiddy porn, i.e. SOPA)
