Something else for the rest of the world to laugh at us about, thanks Barry.

Language changes over time, I don't have a problem with it.

They aren't changing the language, just simplifying it because the whole world doesn't speak fucking lawyer.

This should have never gotten to this point, it's a way for the educated to control the uneducated.

So does this mean they'll finally be able to find out what's in that healthcare bill they passed?

No, they're still able to spew jibberish to themselves. Appears to be just forms and releases to the public.

No, it's pandering to the administration's voting base. They think the general public is too stupid to understand the language so it's being dumbed down.

As for the healthcare bill, the verbiage is relatively easy to understand but it's hard to digest nearly 2000 pages of it at once. There are new regulations on one page with 5 other pages of loopholes and exclusions to those regulations. Taking out the big, hard to understand words isn't going to change the way congress writes their laws.
