Chamber of Someone Else's Commerce

The US Chamber of Commerce is whining again that regulations are stifling the US economy (even as it seems to be picking up steam) and hampering job creation. Some of the regulations they're complaining about? The ones regulating workplace safety and compensation, among others. The USCoC has raised many millions from foreign corporations. Their members have been pretty active in sending jobs overseas, too. It's pretty clear the USCoC looks abroad to places like China and India, where people make a lot less than they do here, and workplaces are a lot more dangerous than they are here, and wish we were more like them.
