According to data published by the GAO and cumilated by the Heritage Foundation and published at the Washington Examiner....regulations introduced during the first three years of the Obama presidency is costing businesses approximately $46B - that is Billions with a B. There have been 106 major new regulations introduced during the first three years of the Obamanation as opposed to 28 during the same period as GWB, five times those of any previous president, However there have been 10,000 new federal regulations altogether, about the same as Bush, but no where near as costly ($8.1B compared to $46B), .
Yet, this administration would have us believe, (well only the stupid people), that they are a pro-business administration which is dedicated to bringing jobs and security back to America. How long will the MSM perpetuate this lie? At the current pace of job growth, 225K per month, it will take years to gain back what was lost in the past four years, and even 225K a month is barely a drop in the bucket when you realize that we have had a fairly mild winter and construction jobs have not been halted by snow and ice.
This analysis is being echoed by the US CHambers of Commerce and other business groups that agree that the actions of this admistration is stalling the economy and employment growth. They are targeting energy companies and Wall Street and threaten to weaken an already anemic economy. The regulations have already been passed on to consumers in the form of higher fees on checking accounts and the red tape continues to grow.
Anybody but Obama this November. Everytime I stop to get gas and hear people telling me how much it is costing to fill their tanks, I tell them to remember that in November. Four years ago, the Left saddled GWB and Cheney with high gas prices and Obama deserves the same. Albeit, moreso, since a few of his policies are directly affecting the price of oil and utlimately gas at the pump.
