Mr Obama, at the point of the Perfect Storm economically, is proposing even MORE regulations which would cost billions and billions of taxpayer dollars. From The Washington Times:
President Obama told Speaker John A. Boehner in a letter Tuesday that his administration is considering seven regulations that would each cost the U.S. economy more than $1 billion per year, although he added that these rules are “merely proposed.”
All told, the seven proposed rules cited by Mr. Obama would cost companies at least $38 billion per year and could cost as much as $100 billion annually.
“Before finalizing any of them, we will take account of public comments and concerns and give careful consideration to cost-saving possibilities and alternatives,” Mr. Obama wrote to the Ohio Republican.
Right. Just as you gave massive consideration to the electorate before you shoved ObakaKare down America’s throat in the middle of the night. Just as you crowed about “transparency” in your administration. Just as you decreed there would be days and days of posting on the internet — for public consideration and scrutiny, in the name of fairness and transparency — before any bill would be passed.
And we should, of course, believe you now?
To continue:
The president listed four proposed Environmental Protection Agency rules and three in the Department of Transportation as having the high potential cost. An EPA regulation on air quality standards could cost between $19 billion and $90 billion per year.
And this on top of the EPA regulations regarding coal-fired electrical generations stations which go into effect this coming January 1st — regulations that Texas says will cause rolling brownouts in the state? I wrote about that here, on August 22nd.
Demorats and Leftists just don’t “get it” and they never will. It’s not to say that some of what the Demorats do or want don’t have merit. But in times such as these, there has to be a line that won’t and can’t be crossed — and we have crossed it. Way crossed it.
The Demorats want to both extend that line and, further, absolutely explode beyond it.
All for the sake of votes and power, with no thought given to potential current and future consequences and national conditions.
More taxes! More regulations!
Where does it end?

It ends when paper money is no longer accepted. No idea of when that will happen but expect it will happen.
WSF: so that everything can be tracked everywhere.
What will be the underground “coin of the realm” then? Bartering for goods and services.
Bd: and you, ma’am, are such a simple-minded dupe and COWARD.
I’m sure I’m paying for your foodstamps and T-ball. Go back and watch some more Keith O. That’s 0 for ZERO.

Where does it end?
When that sorry POS Oreo bastard is OUT of office, at least, that’s a start…
And to all the Drive-By Leftists, Socialists and Religious Leftists:
What are you worried about?
– You OWN the White House!
– You OWN the Senate!
– You OWN education!
– You OWN the DEM/MSM!
– You OWN all the universities!
– You OWN the United Nations!
– You OWN all the DC Watering Holes!
So what’s to bitch about, you whiners? You own most EVERYTHING but you WON’T own your president?
The Big Bad TEA Party points out the obvious, pulls back the curtain so that you can see Obaka and Ms Socialism naked?
Ooooo, BAD TEA Party! TEA Party BAD! Yeah. Name the LEADER of the TEA Party? That’s right: many of the plain, harried and over-taxed and over-regulated CITIZENS of the United States! How DARE they DISAGREE with those who are clearly SMARTER than they are?

When we’re all in the dark, and riding horses again…
When does it end? It won’t unless we clean house from top to bottom.
NFO: but that won’t be viable because no one will ride the horse, they’re too scary, they’re too tall, they’re too hairy, I can’t get up on one, they’re too stinky. Who will pick my vegetables for me? Who will pay for my food? Where can I get my Free Cheese?
Leticia, in many ways the GOP is every bit to blame. They SAY or WRITE one thing and then cave on the rest. Then adjourn to local DC watering holes. Backslapping all around. “We’ve got ours; everyone else can go to hell.”

I agree, BZ. I am blaming both parties. These people have been given way too much power and we need to take it back from them.
