Well, it's good to see that someone is doing something to help stimulate the economy.
Only "you" would see this as stimulative to the economy. Things like this are part of the reason why the economy keeps wallowing in the three year quagmire it's been in. Progressives love this crap. Anyone trying to run a business hates it.

It was just a couple of weeks ago that the federal government wanted kids licensed to drive farming equipment and trucks. As we all know kids who grow up on farms--learn to drive at an early age--and the Federal Government was tying to legislate drivers license's on PRIVATE farming property.
The farmers raised cain about this--and then the government backed off.
While the private-sector is drowning under a perpetual recessionary storm, U.S. regulatory agencies are flourishing. "If the federal governments regulatory operation were a business, it would be one of the 50 biggest in the country in terms of revenues, and the third largest in terms of employees, with more people working for it than McDonalds, Ford, Disney and Boeing combined," writes John Merline of Investors.com.
Indeed, the federal regulatory business is thriving, and if there is one "victory" President Obama can declare, this is it, because government regulation has grown rapidly under his watch.
Regulatory agencies have seen their combined budgets grow a healthy 16% since 2008, topping $54 billion, according to the annual "Regulator's Budget," compiled by George Washington University and Washington University in St. Louis.
That's at a time when the overall economy grew a paltry 5%.
Since Obama took office, 75 new major regulations have been enacted, costing $38 billion annually, according to a study by the Heritage Foundation. "No other president has imposed as high a number or cost in a comparable time period," wrote James Gattuso, the studys author.
The Heritage study predicts that this flood of new red tape will only intensify, as hundreds of new regulations will flow from the tentacles of ObamaCare, the Dodd-Frank financial regulation law, and the EPAs war on global warming.
Regulatory Agencies Boom Under Obama Administration
Proof that the Federal Government has grown in leaps and bounds while the private sector continues to shrink under the Obama administration.
My favorite new regulatory policy of the Obama administration--is the new Goat/Sheep herder legislation.

I grew up on a dairy farm and was driving farm equipment before I was big enough to reach the pedals. Dad would push in the clutch and put it in gear and then I'd steer the tractor or truck standing on the seat. When my Dad wanted me to stop I'd grab the bottom of the steering wheel and swing down so I could push in the clutch and hit the brake. Gosh, seeing something like THAT would give the Feds a stroke. They'd probably want people arrested for all the hours I worked back then as well. Child labor laws, you know. That attempt by the Feds to license farm kids is just one more example of a group of people that just don't get it.

"The 20th century has been characterized by three developments of great political importance: The growth of democracy, the growth of corporate power, and the growth of corporate propaganda as a means of protecting corporate power against democracy."

I googled this topic and found every wingnut site under the sun saying the same thing, or even posting the same thing.
Wingnuts, My question for you all is can you ever think on your own, or is it a requirement in wingnutteryland that you all dance or jump or sing when the piper plays? Is it any wonder why conservatives are so bad at governance, you are like a lineup of puppets or dominoes who copy thought and action, but still haven't a clue who it was pulled your strings. Corporate America loves you puppets. Oh by the way, any of you guys interested in some prime land cheap?
"For example, at last month's Penn Program on Regulation panel discussion, Rena Steinzor, the president of the Center for Progressive Regulation (CPR), criticized the Administration for freezing funding for regulatory agencies. She has argued that such a freeze shortchanges [protection against] very real threats to public health.
The Obama Administrations budget proposal does call for an overall freeze of domestic discretionary funding, but some regulatory priorities would actually receive increased funding. Some individual regulatory agencies would see some modest overall increases, and other agencies even those that would see an overall decrease in funding would nevertheless experience a shift in resources toward more funding for regulatory enforcement."

"These changes are all in the discretionary, non-defense portion of the federal budget. In contrast, under the President's proposal defense spending would still grow dramatically. As OMB Watch has recently noted, just the proposed increase in defense spending under the budget -- $18 billion would exceed the entire discretionary budgets of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Departments of Energy, Interior, and Labor."
