Right, but who is going to handle enforcement and how? What departments are going to need to oversee it? Are you going to have to partner with states? Will your new policy affect minority groups and how are you going to mitigate harm or prevent them from being excluded from the benefits? Do you need to do implementation consultations? Broad policy legislation needs details worked out, they need people to do the real work of turning words on a page into actions. These aren't just busy work, you're affecting the lives of good honest, working people, and it's really easy to dismiss their concerns until you, your family, or your community are the one who is getting sacrificed for the sake of efficiency. It's not always about obstructionism, poor implementation can cost real lives. Do people weaponize the procedures to drag things out? Absolutely. That doesn't mean the process itself isn't vital and fuck Ezra Klein for putting it out into the world that due diligence is somehow keeping us from dealing with real issues. You don't deal with the vandals at the gates, by burning down the city before they can get to it.
