Some business groups,
meanwhile, also expressed
days before Boucher released
his bill that a heavy-handed federal
effort to regulate the Web ad industry
would stifle innovation

Business groups
drew early battle lines on Tuesday
in the debate over a new bill to rein in
Web advertisements that are based on
consumers' online shopping habits
and Internet browsing histories.
It took only hours
for those industry leaders to question
the size and scope of that new effort,
spearheaded by Reps. Rick Boucher
(D-Va.) and Cliff Stearns (R-Fla.).
Stearns and Boucher's bill,
which is still in draft form, would require
companies to disclose whenever they
collected information from consumers
and ported that data into Web ads.
Businesses that failed to publish their
methods appropriately would face
punishment from the Federal Trade
Commission, which the bill would
grant statutory authority to enforce
behavior-based advertisement rules

Federal Government Outpaces
Private Sector in Job Creation -
A Job Creation Index for April reveals
significantly more hiring within the federal
government than in the private sector.
. By almost a 2-to-1 margin,
federal employees say their employer
is hiring rather than firing, giving the
federal government a relatively robust
+18 Job Creation Index for April. .
The Job Creation Index among
private-sector and other non-government
workers is +9.

Jonathan Rauch wrote
in Government's End :
By definition,
the power of government
to solve problems comes from
its ability to reassign resources,
whether by taxing, spending,
regulating, or simply
passing laws.
But that very ability energizes
countless investors and entrepreneurs
and ordinary Americans to go digging
for gold by lobbying government.
. Economic thinkers have recognized
for generations that every person has
two ways to become wealthier.
One is to produce more,
the other is to capture more
of what others produce.
. Washington looks increasingly
like a public-works jobs program
for lawyers and lobbyists, a profit
center for professionals who are in
business for themselves.
President Obama
recently told Business Week :
"You would be hard-pressed
to identify a piece of legislation
that we have proposed out there
that, net, is not good
for businesses."
But there is a difference
between being pro-business
and being pro-market.
When you undermine
the bankruptcy system to
bailout Chrysler, that may be
good for Chrysler, but it is a
disaster for markets.
Every single item
of President Barack Obama's agenda
empowers the Washington/lawyer/lobbyist
economy over a free allocation of capital.
Energy and software companies
should be investing in scientists
and engineers not lawyers and
lobbyists.
But when Washington becomes a
center for making profits, firms will
try to invest in the political system.
Once industries become dependent
on Washington subsidies and regulation,
no amount of campaign finance reform
will ever stop firms from trying to
influence Washington behavior
