The Elite 8 of Countable's Fall Bill Acronym Bracket
Vote to see how others feel about this issue
In honor of Congress hitting the campaign trail and politicians’ penchant for the pithy bill acronyms that have grown in popularity since the passage of the USA PATRIOT Act, we’ve put together another tournament in which you — Countable users — will choose the best bill acronym of the 115th Congress.
Countable’s selection committee has chosen 16 of the most creatively, and in some cases spitefully, titled pieces of legislation this Congress has introduced. With the field winnowed down to eight, this round’s winners will compete in next week’s Final 4, so vote for your favorite through Wednesday at midnight PT.
Stop Bad Employers by Zeroing Out Subsidies (BEZOS) Act vs. Congressional Oversight Needed For Likely Illicit and Corrupt Transactions (CONFLICT) Act
Rescuing Animals with Rewards (RAWR) Act vs. Formerly Incarcerated Reenter Society Transformed Safely Transitioning Every Person (FIRST STEP) Act
Hold the Low-Yield Nuclear Explosive (LYNE) Act vs. Bullying Redress and Verified Enforcement (BRAVE) Act
Taxpayers Don’t Incur Meaningless Expenses (DIME) Act vs. Helping End Abusive Living Situations (HELPS) Act
