Is this the biggest dirt bag regime ever, or what?

I've gotta admit, this is pretty stupid. It certainly won't help create jobs.

Slow down a bit and look at what this move actually does. The Dept. of Labor (federal gov.) can't handle all the complaints that come into it. So instead of expanding the federal agency further at the tax payer’s expense, they are simply providing a phone number to find a lawyer (private enterprise) to handle their grievances. I'm not seeing how this will affect job creation or raise any ire among libs or cons. Help me out here!

Hmmm, Imma go with "Some people just gotta bitch.". It's like a 2nd job in some cases.

It really doesn't matter whether it does or not...

What's at issue is the government getting bigger and bigger and intruding in areas it doesn't have a constitutional right to...

Exactly. It just carries the image of the feds stepping over the states, and creates more of a nanny-state mentality for sheep who can't manage their own lives in an effective manner.

Big-daddy government will take names and kick assess on the bullies of the world.

As usual, Shakespeare had it right centuries earlier ... these from 'Henry VI' ...

"The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers."
- (Act IV, Scene II)

"Small things make base men proud."
- (Act IV, Scene I)

Don't like your boss? Call the Ministry of Love ... that nice Mister O'Brien will bring him (and later, you) to Room 101 ...

Do you always salivate this much when defending stupid government programs? Good God man you're worse than Pavlov's dogs......

It does just the opposite as I posted earlier. Instead of expanding government to handle all the complaints, they simple provide a phone number so you can contact a lawyer in the private sector to handle your complaint. Isn't this a good thing?
