Ron Johnson must of had his thinking cap ironed and tightly screwed on when he devised this highly poisonous hyper-partisan piece of class war legislation tying health and safety regulations to unemployment rates, and high unemployment rates to President Obama. This ought to catapult the senator's fear-mongering politics and lamebrain reputation right up there with the vacant Sarah Palin and empty-suited Paul Ryan.
Ron Johnson Press Release Excerpt:
Today Senator Ron Johnson (WI) introduced S. 1438, the Regulation Moratorium and Job Preservation Act. The bill calls for a moratorium on burdensome federal regulations until the national unemployment rate falls to 7.7 percent – below where it was when President Obama was sworn into office.
“With unemployment at 9.2 percent, and employers nationwide fearful about the Obama agenda, regulators should take a pause.
What this screaming imbecile does is tell businesses that if they start hiring, those dreaded government regulators that they supposedly claim stifles profits will come back poking around and boobytrap your business. Talk about an incentive.
Act Excerpt:
SEC. 3. SIGNIFICANT REGULATORY ACTIONS.
8 (a) IN GENERAL.— No agency may take any significant regulatory action, until the Bureau of Labor Statistics average of monthly unemployment rates for any quarter beginning after the date of enactment of this Act is equal to or less than 7.7 percent.
Keep unemployment high and you will be rewarded. Stay fearful of Obama's agenda for driving high unemployment AND stay fearful of Obama's government regulators IF you make any attempt to bring unemployment down. Whatever you do, you don't want to do anything that could help re-elect that Kenyan Muslim Socialist back into the White House, is the general message.
Act Excerpt:
(e) REASONABLE ATTORNEY FEES FOR SMALL BUSINESSES.
The court shall award reasonable attorney fees and costs to a substantially prevailing small business in any civil action arising under this Act. A party qualifies as substantially prevailing even without obtaining a final judgment in its favor if the agency changes its position as a result of the civil action.
Here, Johnson takes this even further by legislating taxpayer dollars to cover any damages that may arise from his dysfunctional legislation, but only for the business regardless of judgment. No sympathy for the victim of corporate greed from this fine, fine senator.
I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried.
