There is no uncertainty in regulation.

This administration will impose regulations that make it expensive, perhaps even cost prohibitive, to do business. However, there is an absolute certainty that it will grant a waiver to those regulation to anyone who provides them with the cash/services needed.

Where did all the media watchdogs go? Were they replaced with pod people on Jan. 20, 2009?

though they had the potential to transfer significant wealth to loyal supporters (the UAW)

Anyone who doesn't see this as an out and out bribe to the democrat party should take a second look at how much the UAW donates to dem candidates.

The levels of uncertainty which have been introduced into our foreign policy, our regulatory schemes, and the law itself are inimical to the long term interests of the Republic.

And to the short-term interests of Barry and the Democrat Party, who don't seem to grasp that uncertainty is why the economy is moribund.

Everyone is waiting to see what policy they will adopt next, knowing only that it will be hare-brained, which leaves so many possibilities ...

So where's the liberal outrage about a corporation evading taxes?

Someone should remind Government Motors that "paying taxes is patriotic!"

Steve Wynn was great on the Fox/Luntz focus group friday night. Steve was asked what should the government do? He said, get the hell out of the way. Stop with the over regulation. Lower taxes. Don't raise taxes. Get out of the health business. He said his employees, which he said he values greatly, are seeing their standard of living going down and can't do any more than he is already doing. The whole group said they would love to work for him and agreed with him. Yet later about half said that the "rich" needed to be taxed more. I as a businessman, if corporate and personal rates go up I will do my best to get what I can legally out of the country. I don't think I am alone in my thinking. I have already been incorporated out of state to avoid the state income taxes in this state. It's the total uncertianty that is what is holding me back and most small business from hiring and expanding. One thing is certain though, the Obamalala regime is coming after us. And, if he and they aren't stopped and soon we are in trouble.
p.s. Wynn admitted to voting for Obamalala.

"p.s. Wynn admitted to voting for Obamalala"

What a marvelous business model.

This is how the government destroys competition and creates monopolies. The very things that leftists ignorantly claim are the "flaws" of capitalism.

This is how the government destroys competition and creates monopolies.

Yes. Because monopolies can be much more easily controlled by the government. obama has already made it perfectly clear that he hates the free market and would prefer a command economy. Creating government approved monopolies is the fasts way for him to accomplish this .

As the liberals like to say when no one is listening, "Things would be better if we could be like China."

"though they had the potential to transfer significant wealth to loyal supporters (the UAW)"

"Potential" is not the same as actual reality, but what am I doing suggesting that to the fact-challenged, reality-challenged likes of Sir Rodney Graves, the prince of factless posts.

And here I thought tax breaks were a good thing to teabaggers. Oh, wait, the potential recipients of good fortune aren't fat white Republican men. Off with their heads, I say -- off with their heads!

Art W as usual, brain dead and clueless.

This regime did transfer billions to their pals in the UAW and banking institutions by ignoring bankruptcy laws or openly giving it to them by 'forgiving' loans.

Treasury has been leading the charge to redistribute wealth as directed by the (P)resident.

Art W,

By the way, how was the prom?

"Where did all the media watchdogs go"

They are busy reading Sarah Palin's emails. BTW havent heard much from them on that front have you.

"the prince of factless posts.

Rodney thankfully he has the king of factless posts title safely locked up and is only threatened by the likes of Chico, and a few other trolls.

One more example of Obama's propensity to rule by fiat and decree and regulation, in direct contradiction to the letter of the law.

EPA regulates "greenhouse gases" when it is specifically denied authority to do so by Congress. DOJ ignores the laws it wishes, and enforces those it wishes while refusing to prosecute criminals whose victims aren't favored.

NLRB makes up new law out of thin air. FCC regulates things not in their charter or authority.

This is how dictators rule.

Mr. Graves,

As an investor, I learned a long time ago to drop or steer clear of any industry that our federal government moved into and/or decided to highly regulate. All they do is prop up the zombies who can't compete on a level playing field and make it that much harder for my company to do well (and for me to do well as a stockholder).

Our government is neck deep in the student loan market, the mortgage housing market, banking, reinsurance, automobiles, airlines, healthcare... I could go on and on, but thats enough to make the point.

I cringe whenever I see a USPS ad (paid for with my tax dollars) to compete with the likes of FEDX and UPS (private enterprise). Isn't having a monopoly on my mailbox enough? Guess not, as USPS is still going broke.

I'm sick and tired of our government picking winners and losers in the market-place. And as for the TBTF banks, I say let the entire rotten structure go bankrupt... and let the chips fall where they may. There are thousands of private community banks that would step into the breach and fill the void.

Our government will never get it right if they continue to intervene, and not let the markets clear, and our economy will continue to be sluggish and grow at less than potential (or regress even further) until Washington gets over their socialist notion that they can manage our economy better than millions on individual entrepreneurs and citizens acting in their own best interest.

I thought the last Bush administration had no business sense, but our current one is just horrific comparatively. Its chalk full of academics, lawyers, and various career political hacks who have never had to make a payroll or run a business at any point in their lives.

8 is the number quoted that I hear as the percentage of this administration that has prior business experience... thats the lowest percentage of any administration in the history of our country. Dang! Any wonder why there are no jobs being created by private enterprise in America today? They see the same things I do in respect to government meddling, capitol crowding out, and stifling regulation... its FUBAR... and they are on a hiring strike. 2012 can't get here soon enough.
