Truth Telling

An eye-opening quote from the CBO’s analysis of the proposed Truth in Writing act (my emphasis added):

S. 574 would amend federal law to require all federal agencies within one year to use plain writing (clear, concise, well-organized, and readily identifiable to the intended reader) in all documents except for regulations.

Thus, we are lead to believe that regulations will continue to be written in opaque, lengthy, disjointed, and obscure bureaucratese.
