U.S. Senator Jim Risch confronted Small Business
Administrator Karen Mills this week about the
negative impact regulations are having on small
businesses. During a Senate Small Business
Committee hearing Risch presented a stack of
growing Obamacare regulations over seven feet
tall to illustrate the difficulty businesses
have in complying with regulations.
“Small businesses all over the country are
trying to find a way to get out from under this,
just as all big businesses and medium-sized
businesses are doing," Risch said. "The
difference is, of course, big and medium-sized
businesses have a gaggle of lawyers and
accountants who can help them get out from under
this. The small businesses have fewer options.”
Risch, the leading Republican on the Senate
Committee on Small Business and
Entrepreneurship, made his remarks during the
hearing on the president’s proposed budget
request for the Small Business Administration.
Risch noted that the president’s budget, which
was submitted more than two months later than
required by federal law, was not going to pass
because both the House and Senate passed budgets
before the administration released their
proposal.
“It’s unfortunate that we are having a hearing
on a budget that we all know will never become
law. If we are going to be doing things like
this, it ought to be pragmatic and dealing with
something that is actually going to become law,”
said Risch. |
