Title: New Regulations
Post by: Gaspar on June 26, 2012, 08:14:55 AM
In his last few speeches, President Obama made the claim that he has passed far fewer regulations than his predecessor.  FactCheck.org took this one on.  Turns out he has passed marginally fewer regulations, but the regulations he passed cost the american people almost 4 times as much.

Please remember that to truly committed Republicans, corporations and people are the same thing, so they can be used interchangeably in an attack piece like this.

Facts, however interesting, are irrelevant.

Many Republicans I know are opposed to the Citizens United decision.  It was SCROTUS who decided corporations AND unions are people, not a bunch of Repiglicans.
