Cry us a river.
That is part of business...

Risk + reward (or not).

Did you know that is even a question on business tax forms????

You check a box that "all investment is at risk".

Thank Obama for that too.

The more money they print, the less it is worth.

This about the 30th time someone has claimed rampant inflation due to Obama... Yet the level of inflation really hasn't changed...

I guess its more fun to believe lies that conform to your political outlook than truth that undercuts it.

Geez, why are you posting angry faces and stuff? I didn't even see your post until now. Basically, if you are paying taxes then you are some how contributing to the many receipients of your tax dollars that the President has signed off on.

Obama Asks Businesses for Help as He Vows to Cut Regulations



Obama Orders FDA To Streamline Medical Tech Regulations



Based on the OP's consistent aniti-Obama postings I have to really wonder how credible his assertions really are.
The poster is correct. I work in the Med Tech sector, as to article 3....everyone knows that the FDA is slow, that they are not moving more toward innovation, but more toward slowness....

the President can mandate, but in reality the FDA, IOM, GAO are all staing the Regulatory review process is not stingent enough and it has only goten slower over the last few yrs...so your point 3 is off base...

Also, new Health Care Regulations will directly tax my business....another Gov regulation to ensure Healthcare...definately will keep us from hiring more people...why hire a full time person and pay them Govt mandated benefits when we can hire part time and not pay benefits....especially since we are force dto pay several more millions dollars a yr for a silly healthcare mandate...
