One thing is a fact !!!

Right after the bill was signed, a number of companies said that it would take a huge bite out of their earnings and said so publicly (ATT, Verizon, Deere).

Congress felt they had to be manipulating the books and demanded and subpoenaed records and scheduled hearings ! It was in the press and covered extensively.

What has not been reported is that after Congress got the records that they had subpoenaed, they CANCELLED THE HEARINGS !

This bill is such a mess, and a totally political bill that we will be dealing with this for years and years and years.

You cannot draft a bill behind closed doors, drop the main thrust of the bill (reduce costs), have a need to pay folks to vote for it, all the while having the american public be opposed to it, and have anything close to an asset for this country !
