WEBVTT - Rush Limbaugh May 18, 2021

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:03.680
<v Speaker 1>Politico just ran an article arguing that there's a desperate

0:00:03.680 --> 0:00:07.040
<v Speaker 1>need to reduce regulations that are holding our economy back now.

0:00:07.080 --> 0:00:09.399
<v Speaker 1>Their focus was on the number of jobs that now

0:00:09.440 --> 0:00:13.360
<v Speaker 1>require an occupational license. Most of the impact is at

0:00:13.400 --> 0:00:16.320
<v Speaker 1>the state level. In some states, there are over seventy

0:00:16.400 --> 0:00:20.720
<v Speaker 1>professions that require an occupational license, including working as an

0:00:20.720 --> 0:00:24.520
<v Speaker 1>interior decorator or even a delivery man. And that doesn't

0:00:24.560 --> 0:00:28.480
<v Speaker 1>include a lot of other jobs that require some sort

0:00:28.520 --> 0:00:32.120
<v Speaker 1>of licensing by local governments. Okay, it might not sound

0:00:32.120 --> 0:00:34.239
<v Speaker 1>like a big deal. Just get a license, right, But

0:00:34.360 --> 0:00:36.600
<v Speaker 1>it's not that easy. Let's say you want to cut

0:00:36.600 --> 0:00:40.280
<v Speaker 1>hair become a barber. On average, in order to get

0:00:40.360 --> 0:00:43.800
<v Speaker 1>the government's permission, a person has to spend over a

0:00:43.880 --> 0:00:46.720
<v Speaker 1>year in training and then pay a hundred thirty dollars

0:00:46.720 --> 0:00:50.519
<v Speaker 1>in fees. In Nevada, the education and training period to

0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:55.480
<v Speaker 1>cut hair is two and a half years. In one state, Alabama,

0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:58.400
<v Speaker 1>it's hassle free, no license needed. You want to cut hair,

0:00:58.720 --> 0:01:01.480
<v Speaker 1>set up shop, grabs scissors, and have at it. To

0:01:01.560 --> 0:01:05.080
<v Speaker 1>become an interior designer in Nevada, Louisiana, Florida, and d

0:01:05.200 --> 0:01:09.120
<v Speaker 1>C you better be prepared to spend six years of

0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:12.320
<v Speaker 1>your life in training and fork over four hundred smackers

0:01:12.800 --> 0:01:15.880
<v Speaker 1>before you can tell somebody how to rearrange furniture. Those

0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:19.120
<v Speaker 1>examples are just the tip of the iceberg. Folks, government

0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:22.840
<v Speaker 1>regulators are just out of control. Big government regulations the

0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:28.520
<v Speaker 1>killing opportunities, killing jobs, strangling the economy, and electing Democrats.
