As he toured several areas in Martinsville and Henry County on Tuesday, 5th District U.S. Rep. Robert Hurt R-Chatham) said he will focus on affecting change that will lead to job creation — including ending unnecessary regulations — when he returns to Washington next week.
As yes, the ol' regulations kill jobs canard. One of the standard Republican big lies that together they must tell thousands of times a day. Anyway, Bruce Bartlett says it's utter bullshit, and has the goods to back it up.
We would only add that it's deregulation that kills jobs. For example, they deregulated the financial sector and that led to worldwide economic meltdown. As a result, at the end of the last 8 years of Republican rule, at the end of BushCo, we were losing 800,000 jobs a month. The numbers are a matter of public record. This is history's verdict.
