As the bill moves close to the final phase of legislation in the Senate, the impact of this bill has been placed under the close microscope in two angles: One is an in-depth analysis of the long-term benefit of the bill and the other is the scope of potential negative impact of the bill on other side of the spectrum. Until now, no one had the complete answers to these two questions and debate on these two issues has just begun in the political arena, which is likely to trigger intense struggle between pro and con of the bill in the Senate. As the depth of impact of this bill has thus far been under the shadow, there is already a sign and debate from the two end of the spectrum, which will lead to the intense pro and con lobbying activities ahead. Thus far, there has been no set schedule for its companion bill in the Senate. Unlike the post-passage comment of Sen. Chuck Schumer which we reported earlier today, there is an indication that this bill may have to face a lot of huddles in the Senate.
