SMALL BUSINESS HAS fought the health-care bill as too costly. That made Saturday's vote bitter to many of the nation's roughly 30 million such entrepreneurs, if welcome to some.

"With unemployment at a 26-year high, the punitive employer mandates and atrocious new taxes will force small business owners to eliminate jobs and freeze expansion plans at a time when our nation's economy needs small business to thrive," Susan Eckerly, senior vice president of one of the most powerful small-business lobbying groups, the National Federation of Independent Business, said in a statement Saturday.

Hanlon's Razor applies... "Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity."

Walmart is praying this HC bill passes. Almost no one will be able to compete with them anymore at all. Just a few Niche stores is all.


Liberals <3 Walmart

Why are the Dems pushing a bill that benefits insurance and pharma at small business and our expense? They're working with lobbyists. The Washington Post explains it at WhoRunsGov.com:
