[GPSCC-chat] JOBS bill?

[Gerry Gras]

FYI,

Jim Hightower has an article critical of the JOBS
bill:

"Save Wall Street! Congress Passes JO(BS) Act"
     http://www.commondreams.org/view/2012/04/04

Apparently there is some deregulation of Wall Street
for some companies.

More info at Forbes:
"Breaking Down The JOBS Act: Inside The Bill That Would Transform 
American Business"

The bill is H.R. 3606.
The text is at:
