While I have never dug far, I’ve seen some on the fringe claim the over complicated legal language in govt is due to the corporation of the United States of America. I’ve also seen these people form political bodies that are capable of suing politicians for breach of contracts and in various state constitutions and oaths of office. Very interesting things to observe.

It seems intentional... Like the "uninformed populace" idea, you can either lower fluency or raise difficulty. DoE handles the former, policy writers the latter.

Makes you wonder how well elected officials understand it. Was “Obama care” the huge bill they said pass it first then figure out what it details?

For me this is all just more evidence of the uselessness of the state.

I think I read somewhere something about senators not reading bills, though if they did, they would be reading orders of magnitude more than even the most dedicated civilian readers... Real head scratcher.
