Administration proposing new high-level manufacturing council

By: MARTIN CRUTSINGER - Associated Press

WASHINGTON -- The Bush administration is proposing a new presidential council to give U.S. companies a greater voice in government decisions and making other recommendations aimed at bolstering the ailing manufacturing sector.

The administration's report on manufacturing says the Treasury Department should study how to make tax laws less complex and costly for companies to comply with. Also, the White House budget office should conduct a government-wide review of regulations to assess their impact on U.S. manufacturers.

The long-awaited report was to be made public Friday during a visit by Commerce Secretary Donald Evans to the Lincoln Electric Co. of Cleveland, a successful midsize company that makes sophisticated welding equipment.

The Associated Press obtained a summary of the report Thursday.

"This is our strategy to remove the barriers that are holding back American manufacturers and costing jobs," Evans said in a statement.

Oh. My. God.

They really DO think Americans are all stupid!

As we watch our manufacturers ship jobs overseas. I don't think they need any more help. Regulations and enforcement Yes, help NO.

The administration's really giving it their all. If
Dems "form a commission", they're derided as wishy-washy
govt. loving saps. What they really are going to do is
find a way to join the army of "guest workers" with the National
Manufacturer's Association and close the coffin on the
middle class.

pResident Bush is a piece of shit a mile long.

Not to be confused with the right hand council finding new and better ways to send all those jobs to China.
