>They're lawyers, not engineers, and I don't see any reason for lawyers to conclude "It's fundamentally complex, impossible to get right, and going to have problems" Very true, my brother who, is the press secretary for a relatively prominent senator, said to me when we were debating the health care bill, "Complex problems have complex solutions." and then... "Getting to the moon was a complex problem, and I'm sure it took lot more than 2000 pages to explain the process of getting there."

> "Getting to the moon was a complex problem, and I'm sure it took lot more than 2000 pages to explain the process of getting there." Yes, but how many of those pages were written by congressional staffers? > "Complex problems have complex solutions." Not necessarily. Besides, the question is not whether the solution is complex, it's whether the proposal is a solution. The fact that a proposal is complex doesn't tell us whether it is a solution.
