More Regulation Is Good For Us?

The headline reads, "Study Proves Telecom Regulation Changes Could Spur Small Business Job Creation and Broadband Investment." The study, endorsed by Public Knowledge and done by Economics and Technology, Inc. says a more heavily regulated telecom environment will result in new job growth.
That's not what an SBA Office Of Advocacy Study found. "In the face of higher costs of federal regulations, the research shows that small businesses continue to bear a disproportionate share of the federal regulatory burden. On a per-employee basis, it costs 45 percent more for small firms to comply than their larger counterparts, the study found.
It is counterintuitive to a small business owner to say more regulation will help them add jobs.
