The US congress is so broken that it seems like a majority of laws are railroaded into bills that absolutely need to pass rather than seperate bills themselves.

Both parties say "we'll pass this spending bill if you let x, y, and z completely unrelated bills be attached to it." Then both sides can say "we got this bill you wanted passed" and "I didn't want to vote for X but I had to support the budget bill."

It's a ridiculous system.
