Therein lies the issue. The admin, whatever admin is in power can and will put up everything they can to say how quick and easy it will be. They also told us that the 2nd Gulf War would be over in 6 months or so. Bottom line is that if this is your pet project, you are going to sell it by telling us all the good and none of the bad. Legislators always push their agenda by telling you how easy it is and how good it will be. Ever seen one that is trying to sell you a point and tells you the negative possibilities? I haven't. During the gas price spike after Katrina, the salesman took your car and sold you an econobox. Sure, he told you how much cheaper it would be to run, etc, etc. Do you think he will say "OTOH, your truck is paid for and you are getting a new car payment. BTW, only at current gas prices and if you drive a lot of miles AND keep your car for a long time (unlikely to happen) will you actually start to make money."? Probably not. Otherwise they won't sell the econobox.
What we need to realize is that the famous line in House MD is "EVERYBODY LIES".
