Chamber of Commerce: Obama Polices are a "General Attack" on Free Enterprise - Political Hotsheet - CBS News


The Chamber laid out these recommendations -- and plenty of criticism -- in a scathing open letter to President Obama and Congress released today. The letter took the White House and Congress to task for taking "their eyes off the ball" and neglecting job creation.

It's easier to find industries he's attacking than ones he's not.
After high tech I struggle.

Same old crap.

the say the Dems are socialists, and that we need more FREE TRADE and less TAXES, and less regulating of the major corporations.

This is a FAKE organization, folks.

Its a wing of the REPUBLICAN partisans.

Are you then saying they are wrong and that the obama policies are pro business and will stimulate business enough to begin hiring?

 

[Mr. Shaman]

WOW, that is harsh coming from them.

NO it isn't!

They're scared SHITLESS over financial-REGULATION!!!!!​

"The Dodd-Frank bill -- named for chief authors Senator Christopher Dodd and Representative Barney Frank -- leaves few corners of the financial industry untouched.

Mortgage brokers, student lenders and other financial firms would have to answer to a new consumer-protection authority, though auto dealers will escape scrutiny.

Regulators will have new power to seize and dismantle troubled firms and impose leverage limits on firms that threaten financial stability.

Large banks would face new limits on risky trading activities, and many would have to set aside more capital to help them ride out times of crisis.

Large private-equity and hedge funds will face more scrutiny from federal regulators, and credit-rating agencies could potentially see their entire business model upended.

Much of the $615 trillion over-the-counter derivatives market will be routed through more accountable and transparent channels, and banks would have to spin off the riskiest of their swaps clearing desk operations."

Hey, Chamber O' Commerce.....we're reeeeeaaaaallllllly sorry to hear-about all o' the MAJOR-BUCK$ YOU BLEW ON LOBBYI$T$!!!!!!!!

 

[FA_Q2]

Of course they are, all this regulation is coming that will leave the underlying problems intact while making it harder to do business and expand government bureaucracy in the interest of red tape.

And the ever typical response from a far-lefty

'It is a disguised Republican plot'

Thanks edit, I needed a fucking laugh

No.

And for future reference, If I say it's too warm, know that I didn't mean that I thererfore must want it to be absolute zero.

Such strawman nonsense as the above is a waste of your time and mine, okay?

Glad I could give you a rise, DD

Its Republican party connections are not disguised except for the misleading name they've given themselves.

They no more represent the CoC small businesmen of America than they fly to the moon on gossimer wings.

Attacking their BS is not at all the same thing as me defending Obama.

I will NOT play your partisan games.

BS is BS no matter which partisan team is spewing it.

It wasn't meant to be a strawman. The waste of time is dismissing something because the messenger doesn't deliver the message you might want to hear, rather than addressing what it is you disagree with.

Care to actually back up your claim, or to just act like TM and rdean with putting out unsubstantiated statements as 'fact'?

I would like to proof of this being a 'fake organization' and direct ties to the 'Republican Wing'... and we are not talking winger site links, opinion pieces, or minor donations to an occasional candidate's campaign

No, actually life has priority over my time. You should try getting one, I hear they are all the rave...

The new regulations they are proposing do nothing to address the 'to big to fail' concept and actually encourage it with costly regulation that will make smaller banks and lenders less profitable. It also entails setting up an emergency fund for use in these finical institution should bad things happen. Essentially that entails an EASIER rout to bail outs. Regulators are given brad powers but there is little in specific regulation in derivatives and I have a strange feeling that banks are simply going to get around that hurdle altogether. The problem lies in the bailout mentality, as long as we are willing to make bad investments profitable through bailouts people will invest in them. Why not take the chance for extreme payout if there is little to no risk involved.
