We could have written the right bill from nothing as easily as we can
fix this boondoggle. Now we not only need to come up with the right
plan, we need to repeal this one. Bureaucracies are hard to get rid of
once they are entrenched.

No repeal is needed or warranted. It's totally fixable. The repeal first
is
just a reactionary load of crap that would put us back. Many programs
start
as major compromises. There's nothing new. Social Security and Medicare
are
good examples. They've been amended many times, and they still have
problems
(fixable problems), but few people seriously advocate repealing them.


By definition you have to repeal one law to replace it with another
one.
In fact when you actually read the legislation it will say "delete XXX
add YYY" to whatever statute they are changing.

No.... did we repeal the Constitution when we amended it? I missed that one.
So, by your own statement, laws are changed. Would you like to try again?
