  When people see how bad it is, e.g., the IRS grabbing money out of their bank accounts, the people will understand "what's in it". The people who passed it had their fun and, due to the delay in implementation, so far have not had to pay for their fun. When people don't like it, Congress can repeal it, and the next president can sign the repeal. Mostly the waste will have been however many paper pushers wrote 10^10th pages of bureaucratic nonsense no one will ever read.

  No, the right analogy is to have someone write mission critical aircraft embedded code; don't have anyone review it; run no simulations; hell, don't even debug it; load it on a 787 and say "we have to fly it to see if it works". That's what our representatives did. Ready for takeoff?

    Nice! And then we will debug the code while flying at 0.75 Mach at 35,000 feet!
