Consider the name of H.R. 7688: the Consumer Fuel Price Gouging Prevention Act.
Shouldn’t that be the Consumer Fuel Price-Gouging Prevention Act?
Shouldn’t that be the Consumer Fuel-Price Gouging-Prevention Act?
Shouldn’t that be the Consumer-Fuel-Price Gouging-Prevention Act?
Or — and why not? — the Consumer-Fuel-Price-Gouging-Prevention Act?
I can understand why the bill’s sponsor may have chosen to skip the hyphens.
