Response: I believe I said increasing uncertainty. My specific reference is to Card Check or the current Son of Card Check.

The presence of unions is not only a long term presence in the American economy, it's been, long term, quite beneficial. One of the benefits is to provide better healed consumer for that economy than would otherwise be the case. And makes your business friends more money. The quote from Henry Ford is always dropped into a conversation at this point.

Response: Yes - I mean Cap and Trade and the implications associated with it - as in reduction of low cost supplies.

My guess is we just differ here. I think the long term is much more important than the short term. We appear to differ at the most basic level, whether global warming is a sufficient danger that it needs to be addressed. I don't see us getting into that conversation. But it's at the root of our disagreement.

Response: I am referring here to the unilateral abrogation of bond holder rights. The bottom line here is lending to unionized companies will require higher rates.

I see your moral outrage; I fail to see any serious danger to the health of the republic.

Incidentally, if you want to distinguish your response from mine in your posts, you can use the html italics code. Begin the relevant sentence with "" (without the quotation marks; I put them in to keep from triggering the html machine) and end the last sentence of a bloc with "". That extra slash signals the end.
