JayB-
I agree with you that we need a President who is business friendly. Unfortunately or current President is "business" friendly the same way a drug dealer is "people" friendly. Too much emphasis on dead/dying/low growth industries, and not enough on the future of the developed world - high growth, high knowledge industries. To Whit:
- Steel Tariffs to product a no growth, low value industry at the expense of higher value manufacturing jobs
- Softwood Tariffs to "protect" lumber jobs while actually harming them
- Increased Oil Drilling in Utah, protection of the right for Oil Drilling in California, ban in Florida because Jeb's Gov
-Stemcell ban to hamper US biotech
- Squandering US education resources on the absurd, unfunded standarized test regime that is the No Child Left Behind Act
We need a President who will streamline government for business, and help them for the future (import/export law streamlining, customs clearance, international money transport, enviro regs, education funding, etc.) Not a Prez who spends his time courting dead industries for political gain.
