obamacare is a good start, the epa also. Over regulation has made it to costly to start new businesses in many fields. It means less compitition from business so less progress. but it really depends on where you live and what feild of business or product. Regulation tends to be specific, probably why there is so much of it. From local city and county ordinaces, from state regultaion, to federal regulation. There is a reason that business are failing and new ones aren't opening up. Her are some articles that go more in depth than i can.

For the labor participation rate

obamacare is a joke, universal healthcare light.  and the epa is bad at regulating, not harsh.  

you can build a chemical plant next to a freshwater reservoir. thats a freaking joke.

northern europe has realy hard regulations, a realy universal healthcare, 48hrs/week max, high taxes, high wages, next to none venture capital, but it works well.

 

and the labor participation in the us is so low because you have way to much disabled people, maybe obamacare isnt so bad after all...
