· 3 pulledHappy holidays to everyone who celebrates 'National Blame Someone Else Day,' — which, unintentionally, may include a handful of senators expected to introduce the 'American Innovation and Choice Online Act' in the coming days.
Notwithstanding all the taxes, regulations, and federal spending that drain our economy, the politicians championing the bill are loudly blaming tech companies for hurting small businesses.
It's a convenient scapegoat, but one that fits the occasion perfectly by distracting from Washington's own incompetence.
