Obama Reaches Out to Chamber of Commerce: 'Not Every Regulation Is Bad'

And while Obama reaches out and says "all regulations aren't bad" now comes Obama's Dept. of Transportation's report that found nothing wrong with Toyota throttle controls. But despite the findings that there were no problems; the Dept. of Transportation announces they will add more regulations to the Auto Industry anyway. Is it any wonder the costs of business and government are going up?

Is it any wonder businessmen approach Obama's extended open hand as Charlie Brown approaches the football when Lucy tees it up? He has a history of slapping them around in rhetoric, and very little evidence of business comprehension. A case in point is the latest Obama suggestion that the cure for joblessness is to increase the costs of employment by way of raising unemployment taxes. The concept is wrongheaded to the point of comedy.

Henry Ford paid his employees above average wages back in the day so that they could afford to buy his product --- a car.... Many titans of industry disagreed with that approach and wanted only to maximize their profits. With some 2 trillion dollars sitting stagnant in corporate coffers, it might behoove them that it is in their arena to spin the wheels of industry and create positive cash flow here in the USA. Profits made by exporting industry abroad is shortsighted as American consumers have less and less money to buy their foreign produced goods.

Of course the Chamber is much more experienced than Obama on the jobs front, and they are not about to kowtow to his flailing policies now. Businesses will continue to do what is best for themselves, not Obama's reelection.

The Chinese are very anti-regulatory as well. Over the past 10 years we have imported everything from poisoned baby milk to toxic jewelry and toys. They have killed our pets with melamine in pet food and sold us radioactive drywall. They have exported toothpaste containing diethylene glycol (antifreeze) and poisoned powdered milk.
This is what happens without regulation and it doesn't matter if the company is based in the U.S. or China. American Lead fought for 20 years to keep lead IN paint. Even kids room paint, because it was 'cheaper to make'.

In the battle between 'ruins countless lives' and 'makes more money' - the crowd at the Chamber of Commerce goes for the latter every time.
Oh and despite the 'US' in the 'Chamber of Commerce' title- it is NOT part of our government any more than the 'Federal' Reserve is.

obamas entire platform is built on strong government controll of every aspect of your life--including the transfer of what you have worked very hard for to others who have chosen not to contibute to the Great American way but have it all handed to them!!

After all-that is obamas history-thats is how he has grown up-never really worked just took!

so he can reah all he wants to business-he only wants to take not help!

Deregulation is not the problem. There were regulations in place on wall street. The problem was in a lack of oversight and enforcement.
You can put all the rules you want in place but if no one watches to makes sure they are followed and no one enforces the rule they are useless.
Imagine having all the rule sthere are in the NFL and ref's to enforce them or the ref's just paid no attention.
What those on the left have to face is there were regulations and people like BARNEY FRANK democrat Mass. and CHRIS DODD democrat COnn. turned their heads and said all was well. Don't believe it,, lokk it up. C Span has the video.

Businesses and industries have proven, over and over again, that they CANNOT or WILL NOT police themselves...hence, "reglation". Look at what has happened to the industries that have been "deregulated" over the years! Telephone, airlines, banking, oil, cable...prices skyrocket and services go straight to Hell. Screw the consumer for profits. THAT is all deregulation brings.

No every regulation isn't bad! It's the number of regulations! I own a small business (family owned for 50 years and 3 generations). We have to file "plans" with several different agencies such as the EPA, DOHS, DOT and SEVERAL other government agencies. The problem is most of them are basically the same with the exception of one or two questions. If we could fill out the forms once and they share the info, it would save us time and money. The questions are the other issue as they expect us to determine things that we have no way of knowing such as; What is the likelyhood of an attack on the facility? How many people would be affected indirectly or directly by an attack on the facility? The other issue is that my grandparents saved money to open this business and worked in the business every since it was opened, my parents went with out pay during hard times and invested money into the business for over 40 years, my brother and I have worked hours without end, invested personal money and went with out pay when the business struggled for over 20 years and yet when my grandmother passes the government will take 48% of the business! A business they have caused to be worth less due to the regulations they imposse.
