| Message | Thats why these kinds of bills are called "Omnibus". You fit it a whole range of issues into one bill. It's actually quite common. |

| Message | Good for the economy? Paying over the odds for inefficient private contractors for our space program? Allowing the rich to poach the best professionals from our public healthcare system so that the poor have to wait longer for inferior treatment? Allowing corporations to consolidate huge areas of land and plant them with monocultures? These things may be good for the economy, but they're not good for the people, or for the environment. |

| Message | Well, I particularily have serious issues with the national government taking and then redistributing land that is owned by any private party. I don't even like the local governments being authorized to do it, but I figured some localities won't do that, and we'll probably see an exodus of people from the localities that do since everyone will resent having their property taken away without just cause, which hopefully will cause those localities that do to change their laws. |
