    Thus the need for tort reform. This 'litigious society' is shooting itself in the foot.

    Since we've been doing that all along, why are we in the mess we're in now? Maybe that premise is a false one, eh?

    Totally agree - in addition one other thing I would like to see is that any punitive damage be awarded by the by (and thru) the court directly to a non-profit organization (provided the claimant has no financial interest in said organization).

    Another words if the court awards a $5,000 for punitive damages (in addition to $25,000 for medical bills) then the Red Cross or similar organization receives the full 5 Grand - without the lawyer getting a penny of it. If that was the case, then lawyers may not be so energetic about suing for punitive damages. (since the donation would be in the name of the injured party, he would be able to claim the 5,000 grand on his taxes.)

    Thoughts?

    How about the losing side paying the legal costs of the winning side? Works in most countries.

    With the first 800 billion stimulus not being successful at creating a robust economy - with news out today, sadly, of poverty levels at record highs, it is hard to imagine the latest government spending idea will be helpful. It is just more of the same.

    Instead we need less social change from the administration. That has created an environment where businesses are afraid to spend on new ideas, and hire new employees.

    They'd rather not work at all. That's the real reason something like CCC won't work today.
