>>bhm: If this bill is just so very good for our country, why have one of its key provision self destruct after a short period."<<

Asked and answered numerous times by numerous posters. Sheesh. - sano

And that answer seems to boil down to, "We need to see how well it is working and it may need tweaking after three years."

OK, but your justification for the sunset verbiage seems to be, sure because the closure provision may be to be modified in three years.

So it might. But why is an upfront cancellation feature necessary in order to modify it later?

I think the self cancel is in there because your side is fearful the emergency closure provision will work too well and the American people won't let you cancel it. So logically, you build in the self cancel as a way to cloak the "return to business as usual" outcome of the bill.
