I thank the gentlelady from Alabama, and The Economist article, I've got a copy of it here as well, this is not exactly the bastion of conservatism that Republicans hold up all the time to highlight their beliefs. This is the Economist dated February 18, 2012, headline as you stated, ``Over-regulated America.'' And just to share one little factoid from this report that The Economist put out here, it says a study from the Small Business Administration, a government body, found that regulations in general add $10,585 in costs per employee per year--$10,585 per year per employee is the cost of regulations. If you're a business that's just getting started, or if you're struggling to balance the books and make sure you are able to continue into next year, here's the cost, $10,585 per employee.
