Growing the economy the liberal-progressive way

Some time ago, noticing the growth in Washington DC in marked contrast to the rest of the country I dubbed it Versailles on the Potomac.  So the linked post is no surprise.  A few highlights:
  • From 2008, while the economy grew at 5%, regulatory budgets have increased by 16%
  • Private sector jobs shrank by 5.6%, employment in regulatory agencies has increased by 13%
I can't understand what's keeping the economy from taking off. Perhaps not enough presidential bus tours.
