Selling accross state lines is not included in the Democrat plan, as it stands now.

There is no provision in the bill as it stands now for tort reform. The only thing relating to tort reform, at least as I understand matters now, is that President Obama instructed HHS Secutary Kathleen Sebelious (sp) to form a committee to "study" the issue. A typical bureacratic ploy to avoid taking action or make a decision.

More than 30 States have instituted some type tort reform since 1986, so I would hope the "committee" will explore what has been learned by those expirements. If they do it would seem it should speed-up the time it might take the "committee" to report back on their findings.

Thanks Bob. That is what I thought.

I do not think so, but in a poll out today 79% of those surveyed said they thought the "American economy will collapse", including 72% of Democrats polled.

Are you able to make up your mind? Or do you consult polls before you think?

No, but it's no surprise to me that as usual you have it backwards. The only reason I consult polls is to see if most peoples thoughts about an issue agree with what I think.

The title of this thread is: "Obama giving tax breaks to businesses"

I just saw a speech by the President saying he wants Congeess to loan small businesses money so they can hire people. Yesterday he said his plan was to eliminate the Bush tax cuts for people earning more than $200,000/$250,000. Since most small businesses pay their business tax as part of their personal income tax his rideculous plan seems to give small business owners a loan and then raise their taxes!

I know many small business owners and most of them would prefer government create a stable enviroment for them to operate and they will take care of creating jobs without the need to pump another several billion dollars into another government program that on it's face is counter productive to creating jobs.

Everything this Administration proposes flies in the face of common sense!
