8. The basic structures have to be in place to be improved. If the shit isn't there to build upon
in the first place then improving means a whole new effort.

You cannot just pass any old thing, claim it will be improved later, and declare victory.

Stop pretending to be such legislative historians if you don't have the very basic understanding of the footholds put into past bills that allowed them to be beefed up, temporary measures that could be expanded upon, sound basic structures that excluded some that only needed to have exclusions dropped, and so on.

Improvements require some basis to build from and that requires more groundwork than any random bill labeled in area supposedly being addressed.

You cannot boost horsepower when you failed to include an engine of any sort.
