Over regulation isn't a problem in our current economic environment, at least in terms of slowing the recovery. All the evidence actually supports this being a DEMAND side problem - not supply. So less regulation on business(lowering costs) does little to raise employment because businesses still won't have enough demand to warrant expansion.

Find out what it takes to open a bussiness. Some have huge regulations that would be nearly impossible to comply with. Demand is, depending on what type of bussiness the larger problem partly because we have lost good paying jobs to places like China. Those jobs arent coming back anytime soon and I doubt China imposes those types of regulations on bussiness we have here, which is why companies and jobs move out of the us. Not just China, Mexico, Phillipine Islands and others.

The only over regulation I see in United States is too much unnecessary crap on the expenses of the company ledger. Pensions replace old fashioned savings? what the fuck guys... The young are affected by this sad situation as the old suck the pension titty dry. That money doesn't come out of the money tree, LOL

Of course "over regulation" is a problem. It can be made into an economics debate, but there is little to debate when liberty enters the conversation.

Government regulations only appear when a industry can not efficiently self govern and do right by the people. Its that simple.

Old movie about how in the future overcrowding will cause a great depression and countries will no longer be able to feed themself. The government steps in and starts feeding people these processed chips packed with nutrition to keep people alive. Turns out they where euthanizing old people and turning them into these chips.


When the public found out no one cared production of the chips continued


moral of the story is people cry for better quality and cheaper prices, but if it cost more forget doing it the ethical way

Having owned and operated small bussinesses, ridiculous regulations and multiple bogus licencing and insurance requirements have prevented higher pay and caused us to close bussinesses in 2 states. Government cant run on a budget without overspending and going into debt and somehow they will not do the same to bussinesses if given the chance?

You are half right. The demand side is weak because nobody has much confidence about the the future. Everybody, industry and consumer alike, are afraid of letting go of whatever resources they have.
But, over-regulation stymies competition (which is what it was placed there for) and without competition, the hopes for a thriving economy are dwindling.

lol @ the confidence fairy.

the demand side is weak because people don't have money. that's the mechanism, confidence is a very small part of that mechanism.

the confidence fairy argument is a right-wing partisan hack bleating point.

note: i replaced "talking point" with "bleating point" to more accurately reflect the nature of that incredibly weak claim.
