I have said this before many times: it was implemented in such a way that it cannot be undone, and was done this way intentionally.
There is a huge, worthless, useless jobs program bureaucracy behind this, buildings, offices, furniture, computers, and...government employees.
They made it as massive as they could to cement it in place...intentionally, to protect against it.
I am not hopeful.
Thank you, for your thoughfully reasoned comment. Yes, you are absolutely correct, this bill was crafted to send tentacles into every conceivable corner of our economy and society. It affects both fiscal and personal/social issues intimately. Any change or repeal will cause disruption (i.e. pain) in at least one, most likely many, parts of the system, and some contingent will then capitalize on it with manufactured stories from the eneMedia.
It will NOT be easy, like a lot of commenting FReepers think it will. A massive ship cannot be turned on a dime.
