hypercrites

While there's small merit to the claim that fed regs hold small businesses back, what's sought is a blind eye to subsidiaries of big corporations and shell corporations for the purpose of allowing large corporations to skirt proper regulation.

Farmers are de facto employees of large corporations like Archer Midland Daniels and Monsanto and don't belong in the small business category at all, actually, unless and until they don't sign contracts with any of those large corporate entities for production.  And nobody pollutes the farm environment more than pig farms, chicken farms and cattle ranches which produce meat in such a factory environment that produces the necessity for massive food recalls, too.

No jobs are at risk in the cement industry, nor in the coal industry, outside of corporations killing off their own workers at an already-high rate due to their skirting regulations already in place.  What's needed is funding for greater enforcement and the one thing you can expect with a Republican administration is ensuring that regulations in place cannot be enforced because of budget cuts.

Maximize Domestic Energy Production
The energy sector is crucial to our economic growth, and high energy costs have a major impact on job creation. We need policies that allow us to harness our abundant supply of natural resources in America, develop new sources of energy, and create jobs here at home. These bills could create 250,000 jobs short?term and 1.2 million jobs long?term.

The above quote presumes that all Americans are energy field workers. FAIL

Again he pretends that all Americans are field workers for some energy megacorporation. FAIL

Woody's link lies about the Appropriations Bill, too, by the way--the Senate passed 9 out of the 12 items in that bill, according to The National Journal article.
