Noting that “the nuclear option in the Senate, invoked with the full backing of the [Obama] administration, will further accelerate the regulatory avalanche,” U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Tom Donohue warned Tuesday that the American economy “will remain at a virtual standstill until we cut this thicket of regulations and streamline the permitting process” that is “costing jobs and growth.” …
Noting that the cost of regulations already on the books is “roughly equal to the entire GDP of Canada,” Donohue told business executives and reporters in a speech at the Chamber’s Washington headquarters that the “stifling uncertainty” created by this “regulatory avalanche,” including Obamacare, is preventing businesses from expanding and hiring new workers. …

That’s right, don’t worry! Amnesty will fix everything! /sarc
Rollback. These turds are just ignorant has-beens who cleaved to the GOPe. See ya, uh, no we won’t.
We don’t need jobs. We can print money and pay people to watch Beyonce and JZ, and play the mocking out game.
Getting a job is racist.
yep, and the Chamber is embracing the Clown on amnesty.
you sleep with the monster you help create, Tom.
Welcome to the TEA party philosophy, Mr Donohue! Keep blasting that message as long as you can: Less taxes, less regulation, and less intrusive government!
What has cost the most jobs is businesses sending them all off shore so the next quarter stock price looks a little better. Guess what dipshit CEOs India and China are not buying our stuff. Americans actually bought the stuff until they either didn’t have a job or are so fearful of losing it they are not buying anymore.
They sent the manufactugin, then the engineering and technical off shore and are scratching their heads trying to figure out why noone here is buying.
It’s business. The Chamber courts both sides as it “seeks rent” from the government. You can bet that a good number of the regulations he’s griping about are regulations that the Chamber lobbied for.
The COC revulsion is selective and self-serving. On other issues like Obamacare and Amnesty, they support the Won. Their myopia is destructive to the very conditions that allows free enterprise: economic and political freedom.
Pound sand glass wipe.
Just focus on amnesty. Ain’t no free ride.
Keep yer pie hole shut and take the quid pro quo...
THe Fascists at the Chamber Pot are balking at their Fuhrer. LOL.
Mr. niteowl77
Awwww, the chamber is upset that things are going against them? Maybe they can get their illegals to kiss it and make it better.
You are right.
Keep sending Mitch McConnell money and see what it gets you.
Chamber of fools.
How do we know he finally saw the light?
If the USCC abandons the Democrats and liberal causes, and stops fighting the Tea Party as it’s been doing, that would be such a thing in earnest.
Welcome to the party Mr Helper! That is actually the INTENTION of Harry’s actions.
