The Economic Cost of Bad Regulations
Tina Korbe /
Ohio small-businessman Jack Buschur has a message for Washington about job creation: Get out of the way.
In a new video released by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, Buschur explains how a slow economy and costly compliance with government regulations forced him to lay off 12 workers from the company he founded in 1978 — Buschur Electric Inc.
“The regulations and the paperwork problems government throws at small business today is just becoming tremendously overwhelming,” Buschur says. “So much of it has nothing to do with safety or creating business. It’s all about regulations.”
