This is not surprising? If I survey how much an appetizer costs, how much an entree costs, how much dessert costs, and how much a dinner costs, the answer to the fourth is not the sum of the first three, or even close. Or ask people how much time they spend sleeping, eating, working, driving to work, etc., and the answer is nowhere close to 24 hours. People simply don't approach these questions from starting with a whole, then considering a portion. Ask people if the government should help group X, yes. Sum up the costs of all their answers, hell no.
