I simplify for, well, simplicity. No 20-word summary could capture the bills. (After all, that's, what, 1 word per 200 pages of bill or so?) As summaries go, it's not entirely unreasonable either; once the bills are in place, the only things the government won't control is basically things it is <i>choosing</i> not to control, which on the grand scale of how much control they'd have comes in pretty close to "total control". At least in the US, that is not how our government is supposed to work.<p>I mean, it's not like I made an effort to hide my biases here... :)
