"Top GOP oversight official Rep. Darrell Issa asked 150 industry groups which of President Obama’s regulations they think are impeding economic growth.


From more than 100 different new regulations either proposed or finalized by the Obama administration, these are the five business groups hate the most, based on the number of separate organizations that wrote Issa to recommend he look into them:

1. EPA climate change regulations (this is the one where Obama went around Congress and cap and trade)
2. OSHA’s “occupational noise” regulation
3. EPA’s new restrictions on ozone pollution
4. Implementation of the Dodd-Frank financial reform bill
5. EPA’s new training requirements for renovation projects"

Detail on each one is in the article. Any surprises?

Rep Darrell Issa is perfect example of corrupt government, a government polluted by corporate interests. So, it is not surprising that he speaks for the corporations and represents them against the government which was designed to represent the people.


On the bright side, we have one representative for 150 corporations, while Mussolini’s fascist government had one representative per corporation (and twenty two of them).

Project much? San Fran Nan did nothing to clean up the swamp of government corruption. Now that Issa is making strides to do so, to clean up the swamp, you project him as corrupt? Really?

President Obama doesn't write laws. If you're alluding to having a GE guy as an economic advisor, what qualifications do you think he should look for in a candidate? Why do you dislike his choice? Is it the first time a major figure from a corporation held an advisory position to a President that you all are restless about?

But then, if Obama is a corporatist, it kinda defeats the point of this thread.

Yes. Really! I don't expect you to get it though. There's a reason people like him get elected.

I haven't seen the daily caller survey of citizens reporting what they feel industrialist boy wonders do to impede themselves, and America. Let me know when they have that survey. I'd be very interested to give them a lecture about minding their own business and not try to own our government.

What about the Obama administration ALLOWING GE to pollute?

I find it interesting that out of the top 5, the top 3 regulations that American businesses hate the most are regulations that are not even in place.
