Do you think that Dirty Harry and Prince Barack of Hopenchange will agree to what you suggest? I think not, and that can easily be seen by the fact that Dirty Harry doesn't allow those House bills to be voted on in the Senate.

You seem to forget, 0-bamas' idea of compromise is total capitulation to any insane idea he proposes.

Default I have been talking to local business men today.

After a meeting of business men today the general thought from them is consistent.

Obama is NOT going to tell them how to run their businesses.

Tax credits are worthless when you are not making profits.

If they need to hire, they will decide that.

They also found it funny that Obama said, "pass this bill" in so many different ways.

There has been no bill gone to committee.

I guess Congress will have to "pass the bill, to see what is in it???

I would expect no less from them and would be of the same mind.

Just like Obama running for president with ZERO accomplishments or experience. The liberals had to vote for him to find out how big of an empty suit he actually is.

I sat in a meeting with high level management this morning and was told that there is so much unknown surrounding obamacare, they just simply cannot take risks right now. We're a non-profit insurance company. Like it or not, when you forcibly take over 20% of the economy it's going to impact the economy.

Best stimulus we could get would be if they repealed that pig.

Tax credits for hiring people is a sham. Just like a lot of other government subsidies, it does nothing but shift the timing of decisions. Cash for Clunkers was a good example of another failure. It just changed the timing of purchases.

Exactly! Along with other job killing government regulations and mandates.

Have you no consideration for symptomatic treatments?
