Streamlining laws

Every year new laws and bills are created.  Many stay with us for decades until a conflict or discrepancy draws attention to them.  Others have complex loopholes or work negatively in combination with other bills.  Those involved in Law must study and memorize countless volumes of laws that accumulate each year.

Why can't the government take a step to streamline their backlog of laws and bills, taking out redundancies and obsolescence.  The more bills that get added, the more government turns into a manipulative bureaucracy of stagnant tedious paperwork.  Like Canada.

Maybe I misunderstand, but wouldn't the libertarian response to an ecological crisis be "well, we can't get in the way of free enterprise, hur hur"? I was talking to a libertarian the other day and his solution to global climate change was "don't worry, there's always space colonies". What? Nonsense. No libertarian would leave a government so intact that it could build a space colony, and no corporation would build a space colony capable of supporting enough human beings to perpetuate the human race (and don't say "we only need two, hur hur" because most succesful breeding experiments in the wild have failed with less than 500 breeding couples). For the most part, corporations are succesful because they're short-sighted, and because they try every possible idea (no matter how stupid). Individual corporations may be cautious but taken as a whole they're wild things. This same short-sightedness is why I would rather not trust the future of my species in their hands.
