right now I'm inclined to hope for a filibuster proof Senate. ... The way bills get loaded up with unrelated stuff to attract votes just drives me nuts.

A filibuster-proof bill is NOT less likely to be loaded up. Either you load it to get a few more votes or you load it because you're feeling greedy and bulletproof. Either way, it's a load.
