Between the costs of ever-expanding and ever-changing government regulations, UNLIMITED CIVIL LIABILITY, taxes, Obamacare costs, etc., it is a wonder why ANYONE still builds ANYTHING in this country.
Carrier is a big electricity user for example, and Obama’s Enviro decrees have caused electricity rates to TRIPLE for them in just the last 4 years, as IPL shutters it’s coal-fired plants.
Carrier Employees, and the Steelworker’s Union have been BIG OBAMA SUPPORTERS. In the end, they deserve this, but the ripples are going to hurt a lot of people. Liberalism always does, in the end.
Bottom line is that it is a big loss for our Country not a gain.
Too many regulations are hurting the economy even more than high taxes. Both need to be reduced so we can grow our economy. Growing the economy is the only thing that is going to save the Government from bankruptcy.
We also just found out that making a government official "cross" can result in Federal felony charges of "impeding".
There are many here who will only see cheaper air conditioners and wonder why no one stops in their cafe/store any more.
That ripple effect is sometimes fairly local, sometimes profound and widespread.
