That might be a good idea. But I’m not sure your example is a good one.

Repealing a budget law only adds paperwork and cost and complexity. It’s not like these kinds laws have an ongoing cost.

I wonder if one issue is just perception: people often see laws as “ongoing rules” when they can often just be, “on this date congress agreed to these terms and conditions for some thing.”
