The House passed a GOP, 391R - 28D, bill directing a committee to be formed to review, and possibly change, Federal Regulations that stifle business.
The House defeated a bid by democrats, 242R - 178D, to maintain regulations that keep children's toys safe and protects our drinking water and foods.
Big Business still controls both parties.

Obama, our current leader, has asked them to bring up de-regulation issues:

And do you know how to solve it? Stop giving government so much damned power and business influence on government becomes a whole let less worrisome.

Seems like a good idea to me.2/8/2011--Reported to House without amendment. (This measure has not been amended since it was introduced. The summary has been expanded because action occurred on the measure.) Requires each of the following House Committees to inventory and review existing, pending, and proposed regulations, orders, and other administrative actions or procedures by federal agencies within its jurisdiction: (1) Agriculture, (2) Education and the Workforce, (3) Energy and Commerce, (4) Financial Services, (5) the Judiciary, (6) Natural Resources, (7) Oversight and Government Reform, (8) Small Business, (9) Transportation and Infrastructure, and (10) Ways and Means. Requires each committee, upon completion of its inventory and review, to: (1) consider specified matters, (2) conduct any hearings and other oversight activities necessary in support of the inventory and review, and (3) identify in a report on the first session of the 112th Congress any oversight or legislative activity conducted in support of, or as a result of, such inventory and review. Requires each committee to identify regulations, executive and agency orders, and other administrative actions or procedures that: (1) impede private-sector job creation, (2) discourage innovation and entrepreneurial activity, (3) hurt economic growth and investment, (4) harm the nation's global competitiveness, (5) limit access to credit and capital, (6) fail to utilize or apply accurate cost-benefit analyses, (7) create additional economic uncertainty, (8) are promulgated in such a way as to limit transparency and the opportunity for public comment (particularly by affected parties), (9) lack specific statutory authorization, (10) undermine labor-management relations, (11) result in large-scale unfunded mandates on employers without due cause, or (12) impose undue paperwork and cost burdens on small businesses.
H. J. Res. 72:Information for this bill or resolution, if it exists, has not yet been added to GovTrack.

While attempting to keep children's toys safe and protecting our drinking water from toxins is a noble enterprise, it must also be understood that these regulations don't just hamper "big business," but the productivity of small businesses as well. Many small businesses are perfectly responsible in screening their own products and maintaining a high degree of quality control, yet coping with these regulations ends up being a drag on their productivity. This issue is not as black-and-white as it seems.

Do you really believe that regulations on business are bad?
Always have negative reprecussions as well, and sometimes positive reprecussions. Other countries influence the market with government too, and sometimes we do attempt to counter that with our own government manipulation, it's not always our original intent to start that sort of behavior. But it's not always a good thing either way, and often it's only a good thing for some narrow business interest that lobbys for it, and it hurts *everyone else*.What about government subsidies that keep food prices reasonable and sustainable?
I don't oppose these in general if they are done for free market interests and not a result of some less virtuous desire.Or, how about anti-trust laws?
This is over-reach.What about laws that would cause inflated CEO salaries and golden parachutes to end?
Now you know that wasn't the case. I know what you mean though...and I can assure you people do this with all political propoganda, liberals, conservatives, libertarians, and the rest.So tired of conservative talking points being picked up like its fact.
