rules that would have shut down every home business in America

Not to be persnickety, but that is a blatant falsehood.

If you can't make your case without false statements, maybe the case isn't worth making.

"Not to be persnickety, but that is a blatant falsehood."

On the contrary, the OSHA rules that would have gone into effect without President Bush's move to stop them would have required levels of corporate workers' compensation insurance, ergonomic compliance, and ADA compliance with which no home business at the time would have been able to readily comply.

In the short term, every home business would have been out of compliance or illegal. The rules were so bad that home businesses would have been required to have had concrete access ramps to their front doors for ADA compliance, for instance...something that the typical home business just doesn't have and can't instantly be added.

Same goes for the ergonomic computer chairs, wristpads, and monitors that were about to be required.
