What a week! 4 days in the nation's capital, lobbying with lawmakers, enjoying friendships (old and new), and smoking some great cigars. The IFA staff did a great job with the program, and the speakers. I was drinking George Will's Kool Aid. Logic and pragmatism should prevail!
Here's Where I think they are on our issues:
Card Check - There is something brewing, perhaps a compromise. Whatever it is, it won't address the fact that unions will not help small business.
Health Care Reform - They are over-complicating it. Why can't we all just join their plan? Why can't insurance companies write across state lines? Why can't plans be portable? No legislator could answer those questions for me.
Capital Access - They all want to hear more about our ideas to get lending started. They all acknowledge that banks are NOT lending to small business. Let's keep the pressure on! Full court press!
Then back to home office, and 2 days of Retrotax! Al was in and we made 4 presentations, and got 4 clients! Tax credits RULE!
Happy and Healthy New Year to all of my fellow Jewish friends out there!
