Good. Amendments are why the costs of running this country get so huge. Some GOP guy would just insert some bullshit amendment to give his area a few extra million for some BS project that has nothing to do with the original bill.
Also amendments are also used to kill bills as they bog down the process.
Amdenments should be banned. A bill should be voted on yeah or nay AS IS. Things in Dc would work much smother that way.
