I would go out on a limb here and say that we could drop half of the regulations that stifle business right now and we would still be safer, cleaner and more responsible the most other countries out there. What really bothers me right now is that something like this should have been done 2 years ago instead of all the other legislation that has clogged up congress, Jobs should be the only thing on the mind of the legislature, I would prefer that they work on freeing things up versus adding another obstacle that will only drive out jobs to other countries.

Scott R said...: Rick thanks for the link, I looked at the release and it looks like it the SECDEF gets to implement it at his discretion, from what I understand in basic terms is that the duties will most likely be transferred to other commands, I would like to know why though.; January 19, 2011 at 4:03 PM
