"I just love regulations!"...

[waterhill]

Epic Fail. This Dildo needs to go.

Punitive regulations: otherwise known as hidden taxes.

Everyone pays for State Socialism, but, then, socialists unswervingly believe that all assets are the property of the state.

If you’re allowed to keep a little of what you earn, it’s the government’s kindess and NOT your fundamental right.

It does not include the loss of income from business that doesn't happen because of the regs.
That would probably be in the trillions.

His agenda costs us 10 times that amount ($460B/yr), not to mention our freedom and our way of life.

[DustyMoment]

Gee, what a surprise.

Unfortunately, it is beginning to appear that he will get a second term.

In terms of its impact on the economy, it’s trillions, not billions.

You know, every time the Democrats propose more spending or regulations, I wish the Pubbies would calculate how much the new spending/regulation would cost per taxpayer, then go on TV and say, "Do you really want to pay $XXX per year of YOUR MONEY for this?"

I bet there would be a lot more pissed off calls to Congressmen and Senators, and a lot fewer bills and regulations would get through. Most people just don't make the connection between "government money" and their wallet...except when they are getting money. Conservatives need to hammer home that government spending IS their money being spent, and their children's money, and their grandchildren's money, and money for generations to come. Whether we pay for today's spending via taxation, debt slavery to China, complete social collapse, or years of middle-class-destroying biflation...we are going to pay for it.

Of course, we won't see Pubbies on TV talking about the real costs of government spending, because most elected Republicans are feeding at the trough, too - particularly the party leaders.

The rooster crowing makes the sun come up? Any gains in the economy (and it's not clear at all that we are out of the ditch) are in spite of Obama. The economy tends to heal itself after a while. Correlation is not causation.
