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.

Arg, read a fucking book you stupid motherfucker.

Most countries have had the concept of expiring laws for centuries. "Develop that idea and publish it"? That's clever, next he should write a book about how to make automobiles and agitating washing-machines, those would be great ideas. Maybe they'll be a basis for some fantastical future invention!

Vast and abundant sources, proceed!
