• On July 22, 2011, by buzzard67 - Then, we should do away with all corporate welfare. That is not going to happen. No wind, no solar, no nuclear, no electricity for rural America. No Railroads. Want correct History? No Suez canal. These tax credits in this bill is for five years to change an entire industry or two (RV). The intent is to place a momentum shift away from OPEC dependency. Five years is nothing, and the five billion is nothing compared to the sixty years of involvement in the Persian Gulf. We cannot afford to keep sending our Armed forces over there every few years, just cannot do it, because we cannot afford it. For the money, this is a worth wild investment.

• On August 01, 2011, by Amanlikeme - With this bill I see jobs, independence and revolution. Regulation is necessary, unfortunately. People, corporations and even some or our politicians are greedy and practice unfairly when the opportunity exsist. Tax credits are also necessary when changing an industry. What we don't need is corporate welfare. If they make a profit then they pay the tax. Government can't run without it. That is the very reason we are in the shape we are in today wih the debt we owe now. If corps. paid their fair share we wouldn't be in debt. Pay it and move on. And if you should think we don't need government? Then you're a fool. Of course government is necessary. Otherwise you'd have slavery, which isn't far away with unemployment being what it is and corporations not wanting to pay taxes nor a living wage. And it won't matter what race or gender you are. The fact of the matter is, when your population grows so does your government. Get over it.
