Regulations cost jobs? Who would of thought it!?!?!?

[Jarhead]

Show facts, not quotes.

Operatring costs go up. prices go up. Prices go up, demand goes down. Demand drops, prices drop accordingly to meet demand. So now we have operating costs up and no change in prices. What does that usually result in? Layoffs... Unless you beleive that business owners are not greedy and evil and, instead, will let the increase in operating costs eat away at their profits. But you dont believe that...and neither does the current administration. So all in all, this administration is allowing regulations affect the job market....ACCORDING TO THEIR IDEOLOGY.

I believe in facts,w hich you have not posted. Your IDEOLOGY would have inflation costs us X amount of jobs each year, but no one is saying that. What is the figure of increase to start job loss, according to your IDEOLOGY?

You have no facts. Produce that, we can talk sensibly.

inflation?
The fact that you tossed inflation into the debate pretty mcuh shows me YOUR knowledge of business, economics, and how the two work.

FYI....inflation by NO MEANS is simply "prices going up"....the consumer is adversly affected by inflation on the oputside, but in reality, the consumer's spending power is not at all affected by inflation when it is a "natural increae in prices.

And inflation can NEVER be compared to a "forced" un-natural increase in prices....such as the result of regulations.

Get back to me when you understand what it is we are debating.

One example: vehicle manufacturers report regulations requiring new mileage and emissions standards will cost them almost $11 billion every year.

"And they're passing that cost down to their consumers, which will add up to about $1,000 more per car, if not more," said Audrey Jones, assistant director of broadcast services at the Heritage Foundation. "

And how does that equate to "job killing"? The regulations aren't making them produce less cars, which means that they aren't reducing the amount of work that needs to be done. You said yourself, the cost is being passed on to the consumers. Not being offset by labor reductions.

She cited one industry.

But regardless......ya think most Americans can afford to abosrb the increase in costs that are passed on?
Likely not.
So what will happen?
Sales will dip....and COSTS are still higher....and inventoryt will increase
And what does that usually result in?
Layoffs.

Yeah....right.....just like (when) seat/lap belts, shoulder belts, front head restraints, energy-absorbing steering columns, ignition-key warning systems, anti-theft steering column/transmission locks, side marker lights and padded interiors absolutely killed the U.S. auto-industry.

your ideology claims that business owners will maximize profits at the cost of jobs.

Well...here is the proof....regulations increase costs which decreases profits.

So what will an employer do accroding to your ideology?

Or do you truly not believe in your ideology?

yeah...you are right.

The auto industry is doing fine and dandy.

Former NYSenator James Buckley spoke at the Heritage Foundation, and these insights of his should be involved in this discussion:

....Because....why.....Heritage never provided you any actual numbers??!!!

I have no ideology, unlike you, Jarhead.

Give me facts. At what level of regulation does job decrease begin.

Give us something, not your ideology.

First of all, this is nothing but an accusation that has been made, and we haven't a clue what's actually going on yet.

Second, why do people assume that just because one person makes a passing, generalized comment (in this case Reid) it must be held by every single person of the Democratic persuasion, and to the exact same degree?

I don't think you will ever have a clue.. You're gonna think it to death.
