Rep Darrell Issa Committee in Congress

That's Darrell Issa's committee he made his fortune selling Viper and Python car alarms. This explains the bizarre connection between unregulated serpents and jobs growth. “I told you these guys and gals are crazy”.  Seriously, wouldn't it be better to working on the President plan to create American jobs by building things in America instead of importing more enormous snakes? May you outrun one of the monster before he kill the family pet.

Democrats and Republicans all agree that the nation needs to move on a jobs agenda. And Republicans have a new plan: unleash the reins of snake commerce. GOP members of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee today called attention to a proposed regulation that would restrict the transportation and importation of nine types of snakes, including the Burmese Python. In a new report entitled "Broken Government: How the Administrative State has Broken President Obama's Promise of Regulatory Reform," GOP members cited the proposed snake ban as one of seven examples of red tape choking off job growth in an already ailing economy.

One witness invited to testify, snake breeder David Barke, told lawmakers that the rules "threatens as many as a million law-abiding American citizens and their families with the penalty of a felony conviction for pursuing their livelihoods, for pursuing their hobby, or for simply moving with their pet to new state."

Politico reports that Florida officials, led by Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL), are pushing for the new rules because the Everglades are under attack by 100,000 gigantic Burmese pythons who have been accidentally introduced by negligent pet owners. The outside invaders have been on a rampage, devouring native birds and other creatures. One python grew so big that it managed to devour a six-foot alligator before exploding. No really. This actually happened. There's a photo. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9600151/ns/technology_and_science-science/t/gator-guzzling-python-comes-messy-end/#.TnZSRrLlYao

In the on-going battle over the dismal state of the jobs market, Republicans argue that a "regulatory tsunami" from the Obama administration is choking off jobs growth. Committee members say the free market should handle the giant pythons and that government tampering would "devastate a small but thriving sector of the economy."
