of course regulations create jobs

no shit.  this is something that should get more play, though.  much the same way that higher tax rates on corporations and the wealthiest individuals keeps money whirling around the economy and makes it better for everyone, government regulations act as selection pressure on investment and innovation and employment.  keeping the regulations from getting stale is at worst a short-term annoyance, but long-term, it improves the breed, pushes progress and opens opportunity for creative innovators.  more, please.
