>'Representative Thomas Massie announces that he has introduced H.R. 899, a bill to abolish the federal Department of Education. The bill, which is one sentence long, states, “The Department of Education shall terminate on December 31, 2022.”'

That's not a serious bill. One sentence is the minimum required for this person to put out a press release. This is nothing more than a PR piece for the Representative. Even the most mundane and simple bills are in the 10's of pages.[1]
