Both the left and right know how to squander money.
Neither have much to do with what left and right was a few short decades ago. Liberals were supposed to be for the common person/factory worker and the conservatives were supposed to be economic and social libritarians. After much of America's industry had been shipped overseas with the massive tax shelters and the left's social engineering for their special interests and private doner's from entertainers to others, what was once a great checks and balances system is gone with the wind.
Now companies that have ties to both major political parties want a bill so they will be exempted from business taxes and so their overseas tax shelters will be protected. That ought to be kept the furthermost in mind when it is talked about which entitlement program should be taken away or which economic class should be taxed. If any business should have their taxes exempted it should be local businesses that are for the most part holding the economy up.

As far as Gibson, I don't understand the details. I know I don't believe in ivory being used for instruments. But aside from that, from what I hear of it companies get away with a lot and it seems to be who can buy the politician or judge that wins out. So my biggest question is why is Gibson excluded?

Our system has been built around a big conflict of interests for the longest time.
Those protesting Wall Street should put all of those that have been using the public dollar to build their own nests and political favoritism in the cross hairs of their blame too..
