Bills, bills, bills....

There isn't very much in our lives that the government doesn't tax or regulate. Most people can't name even three things. A lot of that comes from our politicians' need to pass a new law with their name on it every time they get together. This is a list of proposed bills this year just in Indiana. Multiply that by 50 states, and then throw in the Federal government's contribution to the mess.

I wish they didn't get together so often.
