Government regulations

If you think expanding regulations and directives coming out of Washington don't affect small business, you're wrong. New EPA regulations for labeling of chemical products have come down and it has cost us the price of new labels and repackaging for certain products.

One example of a bureaucrat at work is in the description area for certain products. We no longer can say the product is for "carpet and furniture." Some anonymous bureaucrat in Washington has determined that we must say it's for use on "soft fabrics."

As Al Jolson used to say, "You ain't seen nuthin' yet!"
