On the recordJuly 22, 2010
As my colleague from Maine also noted earlier today, I think there is pretty broad opposition to this particular amendment, notwithstanding the support many of us have for the underlying bill. As I said before, there are tax incentives in the underlying bill, along with some other changes that are being made in some of the Small Business Administration lending programs, that I think will get widespread support in the Senate. But I believe this particular provision, for many of the reasons I have mentioned and others have mentioned on the floor, is going to find a considerable amount of opposition, and I would expect that to be bipartisan opposition.
