Two years ago the Republican party adopted a requirement that every time a party member used the word “regulation” it had to be preceded by the phrase “job-killing.” Those who failed to comply were thrown out of the party.
The Post has a nice front page piece looking at the evidence that regulations are in fact serious job killers. The piece reports what almost all economists would acknowledge: regulations both eliminate and create jobs. Their net effect tends to be small.
Tell that to your favorite job creator.
