Just my opinion as an aspiring Entrepreneur but..
Regulatory mandates flowing from federal health care reform may be the most visible, but the list also includes measures such as new mandatory paid leave provisions that require changing the way employers accommodate employees who need to take time off when they are ill and ever more unrealistic requirements regarding employee meal and rest breaks.
This reality is the result of the best intentions. Policymakers working in silos at every level are pushing through regulations that on their face seem to address admirable goals that are each directed at outcomes that seem desirable. The cumulative effect of these regulations, however, is significant damage to the hard-working Americans who are the intended beneficiaries.
Policymakers don't understand the snowball effect of too many regulations. Their collective effect is to threaten job creation and prevent business owners from doing their part to put our economy back on its feet.
Policymakers and pundits bemoan the economic news of the day and chastise the business community for not "investing" or creating jobs to help lead us out of the recession. But through the lens of a business owner, a regulatory "perfect storm" is forming that causes even the most well-intentioned business leaders to pause.
