The Bankrupt And Petarded McGovern

For tis the sport to have the enginer Hoist with his owne petar (Shakespeare):

Ed Driscoll » There’s a Reason Why it’s called the Forgotten Man: "George McGovern laments that after his experience in the bed-and-breakfast business he realizes that laws and regulations pertaining to small business are actually hurting the lower-wage workers whom he had tried to help during his entire political career. With his Stratford Inn in bankruptcy, McGovern now says:

In retrospect, I wish I had known more about the hazards and difficulties of such a business…. I wish that during the years I was in public office I had this firsthand experience about the difficulties business people face every day. That knowledge would have made me a better Senator and a more understanding presidential contender… To create job opportunities, we need entrepreneurs who will risk their capital against an expected payoff. Too often, however, public policy does not consider whether we are choking off those opportunities.

But don’t expect Washington — particular the administration that’s currently in the White House — to listen anytime soon."
