What a surprise, the general public wants to repeal all the taxes and keep all the spending.
In other news:
People want to lose wait but they don't want to eat less or exercise more.
Men want more sex but don't want to put up with their partner's PMS during their period.

The pieces of health care law that have gone into effect already have underperformed. It makes you wonder whether about the rest of the projections that to get the hard sell on this plan.
Quote: After the health care law passed, concerns emerged immediately that a $5 billion appropriation would not be nearly enough to cover the hordes expected to enroll in a network of new insurance pools for people with pre-existing conditions. The government’s health care actuary projected that hundreds of thousands of otherwise uninsurable people would rush to gain coverage this year, and that the money would be exhausted by 2012.
Instead, after two or three months of operation in most states, the plans have enrolled only 8,011 people, according to figures made available for the first time by the Department of Health and Human Services. Although there are notable exceptions, enrollment in most states as of Nov. 1 was well below 10 percent of capacity.
New York and Florida, for instance, have each enrolled fewer than 300, and 21 states have fewer than 50.

High population states like NY and FL have only 300 high risk people without insurance or who are not interested in insurance...
I hope someone is keeping a close eye on that $5B pile of cash.
