Mamboni comments: What scares me is that these clowns really believe the idiocy they are spewing. This is what happens when a government is populated with ideologues who have no real world experience mananging or building a business, no understanding of basic economics, and a mind filled with Socialist-Marxist abstractions having no basis in truth or reality. This Congressman is the poster child for why America is doomed. Only a complete system meltdown will permit us to flush out all these morons, and restart the economy based on time-tested free market principles and lead by men and women with functioning logical brains.
Applying this moron Ellison's logic, we can eliminate unemployment by requiring community lemonade stands to:
1. be licensed (creates government jobs)
2. have strict quality control (creates government jobs)'
3. enforce frequent health and safety standards (creates government jobs)
4. purchase liability insurance (creates government jobs - employs lawyers)
5. hire only union workers
In the end, there will be no unemployment as everyone will be either a government employee, a lawyer or member of the Lemon Workers and Juicers Union. However a glass of lemonade will cost $8.
Dem Congressman Keith Ellison: Regulations Create Jobs
Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) tells MSNBC regulations create jobs because a business will have to hire people to help them comply with the new requirement.
"I think the answer is no," Ellison said when asked if he believes regulations kill jobs. "And here is why: When we talked about increasing fuel efficiency standards, the industry responded, and they need engineers and designers and manufacturers, and they need actually more people to help respond to the new requirement."
"I believe if the government says, look, we have got to reduce our carbon footprint, you will kick into gear a whole number of people that know how to do that or have ideas about that, and that will be a job engine. I understand what you mean, because if anything adds a cost to a business, you could assume that that will diminish that business's ability to hire. But I don't think that's actually right. I think what businesses want is customers and what -- if they are selling product, if they have a product to sell they will do well even if they have some new regulations to meet," the Congressman said.
Rep. Ellison tells MSNBC that he is against Republican attempts to defund the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) because doing so would "make us sicker and add to heart disease as well as everything else."
