#6 Oh no Jim, Obama's rules are *good* for us. Buried at the bottom:While vowing to eliminate rules that are "not worth the cost, or that are just plain dumb," the president said his administration would not shy away from writing new rules to address "obvious gaps" in government oversight. Likely as not this will be an excuse to consolidate federal powers into an impenetrable mass of regulatory goo by eliminating all areas that are presently unregulated. I expect the net effect to be fewer lines text but a far more expansive, invasive and costly regulatory state. |

| #5 eliminating those regulations that hurt job creation Minimum wage = compulsory unemployment for those lower than this productivity. Means testing of benefits, means you lose for working. |

| #2 I expect he'll be starting with the Clean Water Act, the Clean Air Act, the Wagner Act & the third party standing rules for environmental groups. Those are pretty clearly among the worst offenders. |
