The issue you raise is absolutely crucial to understanding why the policies of the left are job and industry killers. You said the magic word: “uncertainty.”

Its not as if leftist politicians write a bill that says “kill jobs.” But when a businessman is uncertain as to whether his investment might be destroyed by indiscriminant policy guess what……he or she doesn’t make the investment. Its truley chilling. So be it taxes, regulation, torts or environmental whims, its a job killer.

So while lefties pat themselves on the back about “Delta smelt,” “snail darters” or whatever, and feel of-so-good about themselves……..know that there are unemployed people out there with sad, empty eyes looking at you and asking “why are you so delighted at my pain, for the benefit of some sardine?”
