California Republican US Rep. Darrell Issa is a . . . , Issa is a, is a . . . what? At the moment, he’s the heavyweight chair of a key Congressional committee with a mission to gut regulations that big businesses don’t like, even though they may benefit consumers. News stories keep revealing Issa’s cozy relations with lobbyists and corporations, so he has a name to remember. Now comes a bizarre story of a top Issa staffer changing his own name; he was a vice president at Goldman Sachs and now, under a new name, he’s the top dog in Issa’s office pushing the SEC and others to lighten up on Wall Street, despite the horrendous consequences of that approach. Shameless.

I’ll tell you what is shameless. It’s the high level of unemployment in this nation. More and more government rules and regulations is driving up the cost of business and makes our products and services more expensive. Government should be a partner with business, not an adversary. We reap what we sow.
