of course he is bat s%#t crazy..
But he has a point.
Have they?
Have they made the case that they do?
Parade a bunch of small business owners in front of them. Ask them how much time and money they spend on compliance issues vs their actual business. Hand Reid a copy of economist Hernando de Soto’s book, “The Bell Jar” in which he looks at how the regulatory state in South America is holding back economic growth there.
I wish Reid would suffer Herod’s fate.
That this cretin got to lead the Senate shows how far this country has fallen.
sounds like a good idea. but the point of my post is that Reid is right. They have not done what you suggest.
One thing I just found out today at work is a nice little nugget tucked in the Dodd-Frank bill. They have classified gold, tungsten, and titanium as conflict metals. All our suppliers now have to certify that none of these metals are “conflict” metals. It is a huge compliance issue for us with all the wiring and pcbas
Retard.
No they don't tina. Cheaters do. Do a little bit of research on how he got re-elected. Obama learned from Reid.
Communist Enablers File.
Our senate Moron-in-Chief heard from.
I understand. I use copper wire day in and day out. My point was not that the regulations do not cripple business. They do.
My point was Reid said the republicans have provided no proof.
To that I say Reid is correct. They have not.
If you combined the brains of nanzi pelousy and hair-brained reid you’d be damned lucky to find two functional brain cells. Same with most libs.
Harry Reid has nothing to do with reality....
He does, however, serve to illustrate what is so aggravating about the left and the complicit media.
They can make the most outrageous claims, completely contrary to logic, experience, science, and the observable facts, and nobody ever calls them on it, in a public environment.
Bump
[insert low whistle here] Reid.............is certifiable.
The BLS statistics are probably correct, but Reid is not analyzing them correctly. While only a small percentage of job losses are a direct result of new regulations, here's the key point he missed: many of the jobs lost because of "lack of business" are lost when US companies cannot compete with competitors on the cost and price of their products because of the high overhead costs of regulatory compliance and are losing market share to competitors who are underpricing the company. This is how we lose millions of jobs to developing countries such as China, India, and Mexico. We lose them partly because of the high cost of regulation, which enables companies overseas to consistently underprice American companies and take our business and jobs. That's how most of the jobs are lost, because of market share lost to lower-cost competitors overseas, and this lost market share is that "lack of business" that Reid mentioned.
Now we don't want to repeal all of our workplace safety regulations and environmental regulations and become like China, where some companies have just dumped chemicals into farmland--chemicals which then ended up in the food supply. But we need to streamline regulations, eliminate unnecessary regulations and laws that are really designed entirely to enable lawsuits and give a fat political payback to trial lawyers, who are one of the democrat parties biggest financial backers. Harry and other democrats need to also consider the jobs that are never created because of people who decide not to start up their own business and hire some employees, because they don't want to deal with all the regulations, laws, and potential lawsuits. And believe me, I've talked to a lot of business people over the years and many, many people have decided to continue working for a corporation instead of starting their own business because they didn't want all the legal and regulatory hassles, regulatory costs, and stress resulting from all the laws and regulations in states like California. That regulatory burden on small businesses has cost us a lot of jobs over the years and will cause a continued slowdown in job creation if we don't cut back on the regulatory burden on American businesses.
Dirty Harry Reid had only one payroll job in his entire life.
He was a bagman for the Mob, picking up receipts from the brothels in Clark County, Nevada & bringing the money to the mob offices.
He has been a politician the rest of his adult life.
He doesn’t know even how to read a financial statement or a P/L sheet.
We are seeing the beginning of a huge change of employment in this country-—all due to the Liberals & Obama.
We are now getting the ‘change’ and there is no more ‘hope’ until Obama is gone.
Shame on Nevada.”””
Shame on Clark County——we hate Reid here in N Nevada.
Reid is a menace. Too bad he was allowed to paint Sharon Angle(sp?) as an “extremist nut job” in his last election bid. She could have won if she had more support.
