Wrong again Mr. Speaker….wrong again.

Seriously, how many times does a person get to be proven wrong before he’s labeled…

A) a liar

B) a buffoon

C) a dumbass

D) all of the above

“Private-sector job growth continues to be undermined by the triple threat of higher taxes, more failed ‘stimulus’ spending, and excessive federal regulations. Together, these Washington policies have created a fog of uncertainty that’s left small businesses unable to hire and American families worried about the future.” – John Boehner, reacting to today’s jobs report.

Just YESTERDAY, McClatchy Newspapers released a survey of small business owners who not only disagreed with the Speaker’s statement (before he even said it), but one small business owner stated, “In order to do business in today’s environment, government regulations are necessary and we must deal with them. The health and safety of our guests depend on regulations. It is the government regulations that help keep things in order.”

Doesn’t sound like excessive regulations are hurting them. Not the first time you were wrong…now was it, sir? What was it you said back in November of last year while championing the extension of the failed Bush taxes…‎”And that’s why making these [Bush tax cuts] permanent would be the most important thing we could do to help create jobs in the country.”

Hmmm.

Anyway, McClatchy’s survey reached out to owners of small businesses to discover if they are/were being choked by regulation, whether uncertainty over taxes affected their hiring plans and whether the health care overhaul was helping or hurting their business.

In short, McClatchy’s states, “None of the business owners complained about regulation in their particular industries, and most seemed to welcome it. Some pointed to the lack of regulation in mortgage lending as a principal cause of the financial crisis that brought about the Great Recession of 2007-09 and its grim aftermath.

Well, Mr. Boehner…I guess it’s back to the drawing board of excuses for you and yours.

In the meanwhile, I’m going with multiple choice for my answer — B & C.
