Lawmakers = simpletons. That's what happens when you spend half your life campaigning, as opposed to studying the issues and actually thinking about them.

They're not simpletons for the most part nor are their staff or committee aids, they simply have others writing them bigger checks to include/exclude things from bills. These loopholes are going exist no matter what gets passed...the key is closing these loopholes as soon as possible.
