Clearly there are always unintended consequences of any legislative or regulatory act that's taken in the heat of battle.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Lawmakers who interfere with commerce and the normal creation of jobs in an economy run the risk of doing harm rather than good. Unintended consequences from regulating or legislating to achieve a goal can occur and cause havoc in the markets or an economy.
While legislation obviously is political, we now have allowed regulation to become politicized, which we believe will likely lead to some bad outcomes.
I'm always a little cautious, there's a few amendments that are out there that I think could do some damage, so I've been more concerned about over regulating, going too far.
Elections have consequences.
Whenever there's a bad law, it can be repealed or nullified.
Regulation creates a moral hazard.
Consequences are unpitying.
You do not examine legislation in the light of the benefits it will convey if properly administered, but in the light of the wrongs it would do and the harms it would cause if improperly administered.
There's always cause for concern if bad policies are pursued.
Nothing happens in any legislative body that's not purposeful.
