Obama's interpretation of fair trade: entails paying hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars every year to subsidize the Brazilian cotton industry. A Brazilian protest against farm support and export-credit now guarantees that U.S. cotton growers get $$ from Washington. Brazil won its case last year before the World Trade Organization, which ruled that U.S. cotton subsidies violate international trade agreements. Rather than cutting subsidies to American cotton growers, Mr. Obama's solution was to buy off the Brazilians to drop their case. The bribe came in the form of an annual payment of $147.3 million that the United States will send to Brazil to prop up its cotton producers

Obamacare: any time a business pays any one entity $600 or more in a year, they will have to create a 1099 to file with the IRS
Tax information firm RIA notes the types of transactions covered by the new 1099 rules: The 2010 Health Care Act adds “amounts in consideration for property” (Code Sec. 6041(a) as amended by 2010 Health Care Act §9006(b)(1)) and “gross proceeds” (Code Sec. 6041(a) as amended by 2010 Health Care Act §9006(b)(2)) to the pre-2010 Health Care Act categories of payments for which an information return to IRS will be required if the $600 aggregate payment threshold is met in a tax year for any one payee. Thus, Congress says that for payments made after 2011, the term “payments” includes gross proceeds paid in consideration for property or services.
Costly IRS Mandate Slipped into Health Bill. A few wording changes to the tax code’s section 6041 regarding 1099 reporting were slipped into the 2000-page health legislation. The changes will force millions of businesses to issue hundreds of millions, perhaps billions, of additional IRS Form 1099s every year. It appears to be a costly, anti-business nightmare.
