Mike Kelly on federal/state red tape and worse. This is one of the primary things strangling business in the USA. (Ball park speech starts 2:25.)

I fit's a problem, fix it. This doesn't seem like something that would be all that difficult. Don't go whining about on the taxpayers dime on the floor of Congress. Sheesh.

I think the Congressman made this up. The only references to this on Google are his own speech. And what does this have to do with the feds? Aren't building permits a local matter?

It smacks of ignorance of building procedure. Remember in the 90's when the righties were claiming that farms were losing millions because of the wetlands? That is until someone pointed out that agricultural land was exempt from federal wetland regs.

Hey I found proof that there's been a Federal budget passed every year of the Obama administration......to the sound of crickets here. It is apparently the favorite falsehood of a number here.

Since I don't see bingbing or snaz in here, I'll say what they typically say for them.

This is the cost of doing business in the USA. If they don't like it they should go to Brazil.

The gov't should go in there and smash all the mirrors too.


So who do you, Smaz, think made those laws that you treat as God's laws? Someone smarter and more able bodied than yourself to know better?

Yeah; that's why the country has such high unemployment and high debt, and the GDP keeps shrinking.

No, they don't do memos in countries where the GDP grows 50x slower than a real banana republic.

Wow, you guys love government regulation, gotta say. You can thank it for the current state of Amtrak and continue to whine about HSR that will stubbornly refuse to appear, in that case.

Nooo. They're all find and dandy making someone pay to replace all the mirrors, but if it were HSR, then they'd be whining for an exception to be placed.

Wonder why no one can build anything anymore.
