Seems almost everyone has been talking about the "First 100 Days" of the Obama Administration.  How about the "Next 100 Days" and beyond?

President Obama has taken up a lot during his first 100 days and has ambitious plans for where he wants to go in the future.  Here are a few of those plans:

• Card-Check legislation will make it easier for workers to unionize which will provide numerous complications for small businesses. Rather than supporting policies that will hurt small business, Obama should free up workplace regulations so that employees and employers can work out what workplace policies suit them best.
• Expansion of the Family Medical Leave Act and mandated paid sick leave are high on the agenda for President Obama and Congress. Arguments for these policies always allude to increased workplace flexibility and job security for working parents. However, these could have just the opposite effect.
• Creating national health insurance plans will consolidate health decisions in the federal government at the exact time when consumers would prefer more control over their health coverage.

What say you about these issues for the "Next 100 Days"?  How will they impact you, your family, your employees, your lifestyle, your business? Comments encouraged!
