I have often pointed out that the House Rules Cmte is the most powerful cmte in the house. If they bring a bill up that does not allow for amendments or even straight votes on the different sections, there's no way for the committee of the whole to alter what passes the committee bill.
Yeah but with cool sounding names like inflation reduction act they can't go wrong in the media even though they might screw the tax payer and profit on 99% of the bill.
Yes, true. Look up a Member of Congress named H. R. Gross from Waterloo, Iowa. He was a watchdog who studied every bill brought before the House and was so thorough and precise that committees had meetings before they reported bills to go over the questions Mr. Gross would ask.
