As Merline notes, Marcus and his partners founded Home Depot during a period of economic malaise similar to today’s: 1978 at the height of the Carter years. Since taking the company public in 1981, Merline has literally created over a hundred thousand jobs and is certainly qualified to comment on President Obama’s economic policies and their effect on job creation. In Merline’s interview with Marcus, they discuss, among other things, the impact of the Obama Administration’s explosion of regulations on small business: IBD: What’s the single biggest impediment to job growth today? Marcus: The U.S. government. Having built a small business into a big one, I can tell you that today the impediments that the government imposes are impossible to deal with.
