#1 And nobody really knows how the Health Care and Banking (and other 'helpful') bills will ultimately affect businesses.

We're holding on to our cash for now. Looking for 'Serta' options (hollow mattresses, etc.), too.

#2 Companies are sitting on billions of dollars of cash.

Which should be 'profit', which should therefore be distributed among its stockholders accordingly if it is not going to be effectively utilized. Operating officers are treating such like the Donk pols think your income belongs to them. Building up large amounts will only attract the lust of politicians, corporate raiders, or corporate officers.

#6 But better them than the personal bank accounts of corporate board members

Oh yeah - Corporations truck semi-trailer loads of cash to their board members, just so they can have piles of it in their offices.

And when everyone goes home they and their ~~secretaries~~ administrative assistants roll around in it nekkid.

Damn Evil Corporations!
