That might be true if government acted in a transparent manner. However, our government ( this is truly bipartisan) acts in any way but transparent. It has become axiomatic that the better and more high-sounding the title of the legislation, the more perverse it is. We could do a whole thread on these titles.
Government hides behind the jargon and the Press is lax in its digging out the truth behind the curtain.
The Press needs to stop accepting talking points from whatever political party, and do their own research and present the truth instead of being the principle cheerleader for any candidate or party. The Press has never actually done that in a fair and balanced way; but it is my ideal. In the past, there were newspapers of a definite political POV, but all POVs were represented by some paper, somewhere. Now, most seem to speak with the same voice. That is not good for the country.
