A Bill That Chills

Les Vadasz (wsj $): The problem with the "Induce bill" is not its intent, but its overly broad language ... The chilling effect that a law like this would have on innovation cannot be underestimated ... If this bill is enacted, many new opportunities will migrate outside the U.S.; others will never happen. It's unconscionable that at a time when our economy needs more innovation, we'd consider enacting a law that would surely lead to less. Innovation means jobs, productivity, a betterment of our lives ... what we need are legislators who can curb their urge to legislate in areas where their actions are likely to do more harm than good.
