Word on the Street

The other day I had new garage door openers installed. The old ones worked OK, but they had weak safety features. Here's a quote from the installer, a small businessman:

"A lot of installers will be going out of business because of new EPA regulations dealing with disposal of old garage doors. You have to buy special bags to put them in, plus you have to register each one, fill out forms about lead paint--that kind of thing. That's Hope and Change for you. But just wait a year and this is going to seem like nothing. I'm telling you, Hope and Change is going to hit hard, man. Just wait."

But wait... I thought they wanted to help small businesses? Oh, yeah, I forgot. They don't understand the first thing about what real business people need.
