If Obama were truly interested in reducing inequality, writes Nick Gillespie, he would work to reduce occupational licensing — NY Magazine
Jonathan Chait writes about the Obama administration’s plan for the federal budget, which moving forward will contain a new line-item, $15 million for states to analyze the costs and benefits of their job-licensing requirements.

The linked article only mention "working class" occupations, so presumably architects, doctors, etc. would not be questioned.
But that's not true - Indiana is already several months down the road of figuring out if the State could stop licensing professionals including architects: here is the previous news story on it, which I'll update today with where we stand.
Also, "working class professions" include the trades: do you prefer a licensed electrician working on your home or a project for a client?
There is nothing that comes out of that corporate stooge that isn't utter bullshit.
Like preserving the Arctic Refuge (good luck with that) while opening up the Eastern Seaboard to offshore drilling.
donna, who makes money out of licensing electricians? or plumbers?
