So you’ve got this farmer who busts his buns day in and day out to produce consumables to sell in the free market place.  He takes the time out of his work day to show up at a townhall meeting in Atkinson, Illinois to ask Dear Ruler a question on his BlunderBus tour.  The farmer stands up and says that he would rather be farming than "filling out forms and permits to do what we like to do."  He goes on to express his concern about more government regulations coming down the pipeline and how that will affect his business.  Then Barack Obama, who hasn’t sold one durn soybean in the private marketplace or employed one single, solitary farmer – Obama, who has never chopped cotton or risked the fierce pecking of a mad hen to collect an egg -- says to this farmer:

"Here's what I suggest, if you hear something's happening but it hasn't happened, don't always believe what you hear.”

What?  That’s his response: Don’t always believe everything you hear?  Are you kidding me?  It’s no wonder this hack couldn’t create a job if his presidency depended on it .. he doesn’t get it.  How many different ways can people tell him that government regulations are hampering our businesses?  Get government out of the way!  This is what the business community has been telling him since day one.  But Obama won’t listen because this doesn’t feed into his “grow government” solution for our economy. 

Maybe there’s another reason Obama won’t acknowledge what this farmer had to say.  Perhaps Obama’s dismissive language to the farmer was intended to hide his true agenda .. an agenda to destroy America’s free enterprise economy and replace it with the government controlled economy of his dreams. 

The fact of the matter is that this farmer has every right to be concerned about more government regulations, and Obama’s record proves that.  Don’t believe me, believe the folks at the Heritage Foundation who are keeping track of these burdensome figures …

Here’s what Obama has managed to do so far:

In the first six months of the 2011 fiscal year, 15 major regulations were issued, with annual costs exceeding $5.8 billion and one-time implementation costs approaching $6.5 billion. No major rulemaking actions were taken to reduce regulatory burdens during this period. Overall, the Obama Administration imposed 75 new major regulations from January 2009 to mid-FY 2011, with annual costs of $38 billion.

Here’s what we can expect in the future .. more regulation!

The spring 2011 Unified Agenda (also known as the Semiannual Regulatory Agenda) lists 2,785 rules (proposed and final) in the pipeline. Of those, 144 were classified as “economically significant.” With each of the 144 pending major rules expected to cost at least $100 million annually, they represent at least $14 billion in new burdens each year.

This is an increase of 15.2 percent in the number of economically significant rules in the agenda between spring 2010 and spring 2011.

Just yesterday I told you that employment at federal regulatory agencies has climbed 13% since Obama took office.  Meanwhile, private-sector jobs shrank by 5.6%.  We’ve got more people working to implement federal regulatory policies than we do at McDonald's, Ford, Disney and Boeing combined.  And all Barack Obama can come up with is that we shouldn’t believe everything we hear?  Insulting.
