I was recently at an Easter egg hunt with my children. The eggs were hidden in a wooded section of a friend’s lot among pine needles, under leaves and behind trees. The hunt challenged the children to look in obvious and not-as-obvious places. As I watched, I thought about the current state of the economy and the future government budgets and deficits, and the need for many in Washington to think outside the box.

March was a busy month for legislation that impacts taxes of businesses. In addition to the much-hyped health care legislation, legislation to encourage hiring was also enacted.
