Tort and judicial reform is about as interesting to me as watching paint dry, and I'm sure that it's the same for many of you.

This is probably true but very unfortunate. One of the reasons we lose jobs to foreign countries is the sky-high insurance premia, which are high, in turn, because of the ridiculous litigation and huge awards. We all are paying these awards, and most people do not know that.

I do not blame Bush for the loss of jobs as many do here on FR --- it's the function of the rest of the economy --- but I do blame him for the lack of two immediate reforms: immigration and tort.

Absolutely - it is getting to the point where it will no longer be possible to manufacture anything because the liability will be too high.
