getting closer to the root cause in my opinion has to do how the U.S. conducts business...We are regulating ourselves out of business...We are outsourcing our jobs overseas...Now we bring the chinese to fabricate/build our bridges and chemical plants etc. etc...I agree we shouldn't have to bail out small or big business but how can we compete globally when we are not managing our country the way it should be managed?
Safety is a good thing in any job....but a 3 month job can turn into a 9 month job because of all the rules and regulations and red tape...can't compete globally with that type of system...
we have to fix the foundation before we can build...everything that is working well has a good foundation...
I am not saying to do away with regulation...just need to have the right systems in place...sometimes we need regulation to save us from ourselves...
