Precisely. The people who helped destroy get bailed out with few questions asked.....the people who have their lives turned upside down because of them get a hard time from Republicans.

I am a Republican and it looks bad to me.

And I never hear this same group calling for “offsetting” in regards to foreign aid.

There’s a ton of offsetting that could be done in agriculture too, and that’s one nobody wants to touch either.

I just compiles a chronicle of 20 years of new environmental regulations applicable to the businesses and people of my county. I put it next to a 20 year trend analysis I did of the economy of the county. (It was for a commulative effects analysis on removal of the four Klamath River Dams.) There is a direct correlation between the effects of environmental regulations on natural resource use and availability and the economy. (It is intuitive, but they needed facts and proof.)

If they want to make jobs, beck off the damn regulations! At the very least, it would be a partial offset to the loss of capital for business. Unfortuantely, the Administration is insanely adding significant regulation (Health Care, 1099s, climate change) at the same time they are reducing capital. This will affect small businesses the hardest http://www.sba.gov/advo/research/rs264tot.pdf The big business backers of Obama love this because it kills their competition. However, small business is the engine of the American economy.

Brilliant and spot on.

Question is, how many Republicans have really learned their lessons? Answer is probably, and sadly, too few.

We need more McClintocks in office.
