2011-03-19

The 2009 tax breaks President Barack Obama signed into law should have bolstered many small businesses.

They contend that the law - over a thousand pages — is onerous and limited in many areas where they were hoping to see more. Most ...

For the first time during his recent "State of the Union" speech he stated that he was now in favor of tort reform in medical malpractice cases limiting the rights of victims to seek monetary damages. This is a total about face from his previous stance which opposed limiting patients damages. It is clear that Obama's change reflects his desire to be re-elected ...
