Committees

Actually, that’s not a joke. There really is a committee on committees.

But there’s a reason: Some people think there are too many committees, so a committee was formed to look into the matter.

Ironic? Perhaps. But committees are also just a way of getting people to work in small groups. Can you imagine the entire 400-member House of Representatives trying to have a conversation on every single issue that comes before them? They ultimately have a chance to do just that, but the committee recommendations also help to streamline the conversation.
