Thank you for proving my point.

Look right here on these boards. We have a HUGE number of people who don't know the difference between socialism, communism and fascism. In fact, a lot here regularly use the terms interchangably!

In the face of such abject ignorance, how you think The People will be able to oppose the forces of the Corporatocracy?
Americans are expected to have common sense. Our form of govt. is contingent upon it. Otherwise, we see reckless agendas, like what we have seen since 1945.

I'm not surprised at all that this country is in the $hitter. It's been a well- deserved decline.

I'm tired of giving Americans a free pass on the face of ignorance and stupidity. The means and tools are available for those who want to become informed instead of believing MSM talking points that favor the Republicrat fascist party.

Do you decry the crony capitalism by the democrats over the past years?

What are you so upset about? From the article, it looks like congress might actually be looking into how well the legislation they pass is working, and what if any negative consequences to the private sector business has occured.

"As a trade organization with members that must comply with the regulatory state, I ask for your assistance in identifying existing and proposed regulations that have negatively impacted job growth in your members' industry.

Is there something that we can do to try to ease that [regulatory] burden and stimulate job creation?" he added. "Is there a pattern emerging? Is there a consistent practice or regulation that hurts jobs?"


Congress actually showing concern as to whether the legislation they pass into law is actually working, and asking the people affected by those laws to comment on any negative effects, and offer suggestions on how to fine tune them, and make them more efficient? Oh my god THE HORROR OF IT ALL!!!!!

Mayhaps they were seeing the prospects of new hiring, or new expansion of their business as too big a risk, because 0bama and the dems were waging a destructive campaign against the private sector?

For the past two years 0bama and the dems have created a hostile environment for the private business sector. They have threatened the private business sector with higher taxes, higher health care costs with new mandates, higher energy costs thru 0bama's version of a carbon cap and trade system, new financial regulations and mandates, even dictating corporate salaries, and of course thousands upon thousands of pages of new and complicated federal regulations with the many new federal mandates and new federal powers.

Where was the incentive to open a new business in America, much less expand a current one? Hell, they could not even create a standard five year business plan because no one knew what the tax rates would be. Even after the end of year blitz by the democrats, businesses still have no way of writing a five year plan, because the tax rates were kicked down the road for the next president and congress to deal with.

Full democratic party control of government has been an epic failure, and a disincentive to economic expansion, and you have to wonder where the jobs are at??? Don't expect too much improvement to the economy because only 1/3 of the barrier to economic growth and common sense, was removed in the November elections of 2010.
