profession: legislator

http://www.boston.com/news/local/massach…

Governor Deval Patrick and Senate President Therese Murray plan to propose this week several ways to improve the Bay State’s business climate, saying they need to be more aggressive in steering the region out of its economic malaise.

I’m going to go out on a limb and suggest that none of these will include “cutting the tax rates” and “cutting regulation”…

Murray said she will seek to streamline more than 30 agencies that promote economic development and create regional one-stop centers where all information about state programs and services will be available.

There are “30 agencies that promote economic development” ?!?!?

There are “state programs” ?

And “services” ?

WT* !?!?

What free market experience has Deval Patrick had?

In 1997, Patrick returned to Boston to join the firm Day, Berry & Howard, and was appointed by the federal district court to serve as Chairman of Texaco’s Equality and Fairness Task Force to oversee implementation of the terms of a race discrimination settlement

Answer: Almost none: he’s worked in two very large firms with lots of political connections.

PROFESSION: Legislator.

Answer: None.

These people are nothing but jokes.

Asking them to design programs to better the business climate is about like asking me to design menstrual pads – I don’t understand the sector, I don’t understand the features, I don’t understand the problems, and there’s no way that the effects of my work will ever come back to make an impact on me.

    Marriage is known to rectify this problem. But then again, if you don’t know the sector and it features, it may be difficult to attract a mate.

    “Asking them to design programs to better the business climate is about like asking me to design menstrual pads.”

    It is actually much worse than that. You do indeed have some vague knowledge of the issue, and you know quite a bit about designing things that solve problems.

    A more apt analogy would be asking you to come up with a super-set of language rules which coordinate the language rules contained in 30 existing books, to make communication more efficient. In a language that you do not speak.
