He'll be paying larger fees as that company raises rates to pay its litigation costs, though.
$3 also fails to give him any incentive to support the trial lawyers in their efforts to raise the cost of doing business.
He got $3, the attorneys got $8 million. Well, the guy who got $3 but now has to pay higher costs to use that same business might just want to see a disincentive applied such that attorneys weren't so anxious to try such cases.
Nobody will see lower prices or charges for services because of this Bill. As much as I applaud President Bush and the Congress for getting this bill passed and signed, we will all continue to pay more for goods and services.
If we do, please feel free to remind me that I was wrong.
