Carol’s good work keeps on rolling in like the smell of low tide on a salty breeze. Maybe you recall that five ream masterpiece of brevity appropriately mislabeled as health care reform? Well it came fully equipped with a manifold of other disasters buried inside, one of which was that anyone with business income will have to issue a 1099 for every entity with whom they spend $600.00 or more in goods and services in a calendar year. And you thought the Health care Castration Bill wasted paper?
This creates several problems for small business the biggest of which is the regulatory burden of having to deal with all that extra paperwork. It will take more time and cost more money just to comply with the rules ‘deemed’ by Section 9006 of Carol-Care. That amounts to millions more dollars in lost productivity on left wing busy work that Carol and her ilk have now released from America’s employment engine and diverted into the ice-rimmed, bottomless, suck-hole of the bureaucracy.
So how does that play against Carol’s rhetoric? Not well.
Listening to twenty or so people give political speeches in succession may well be worse than being water-boarded. Listening to twenty or so political speeches in an air-conditioned room with close to 300 people who (more or less) are on board with just about everything that is likely to be said at that kind of event is choir practice. But having that kind of access to that many candidates for three hours is priceless.
