"Amendments earlier in the week sought to lift a much-criticized healthcare tax reporting requirement that both Democrats and Republicans agree needs to be fixed. But the amendments failed as senators could not agree on a way to recoup the $17 billion in revenue that would be lost by doing away with the provision." - http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-pn-small-b...


Wow, congress seems to have their eyes on the prize. They've given businesses some help with what appears to be the smallest problem [1] they face.

Way to go guys.

[1] A rough guesstimate since it's hard to read that stupid graph. Inflation might be smaller.
