I take that as a very positive sign, since Democrats haven't always worked closely with the business community. Hopefully that will help appease some of the Republican opposition. In other words, maybe that can be some of the meat to give them.<BR/><BR/>The main points of their discussions have been making sure that the stimulus package includes tax relief, infrastructure funding, housing industry tax credits to assist homeowners, and reducing borrower & lending fees through the Small Business Administration. Of course, there are other items that need to be in the stimulus package, but I agree with all four of those ideas.<BR/><BR/>I noticed that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is asking for input from the public to let them know which of those proposals they support the most. The Chamber can then use that data in their discussions with Obama and members of Congress.
