As for the mount fees, which is what this thread was about i have already said that i support higher fees though this "model rule" seems ridiclously out of touch. The insurance issue has been properly dealt with in many jurisdictions already.
Next time hold off on praising someone till you read the actual "plan" and not the speech (I'm referring to the sm business 'help'). More on that in politics...

Its a good thing if it is being properly dealt with.

And I read the cliff notes of the small bus plan and it seemed good to me, tax cuts, etc.

It is mostly an attempt at pandering that will not really do much of anything. The same program was tried years ago (Dell's man Carter) and failed miserably. The only thing of value is the zero% capital gains for sm bus for a year. Remember we are about to get hit with huge tax increases when the Bush tax cuts expire, but no one in the White house dares mention that. Everything else is propaganda for spending more money in an attempt to see temporary economic gains in an election year.
