" The Department of Labor has proposed new rules that would restrict
children under the age of 16 from working on a farm or ranch. The list of
tasks youth would not be allowed to do is astonishing to me. For example,
milking cows would not be allowed, and neither would building a fence. One
item that stood out to me was that no youth under the age of 16 would be
allowed to use a tool that was powered by any source other than hand or
foot power. That would eliminate youth using flashlights, garden hoses
(because hoses are powered by water) battery operated screwdrivers, etc.
When hearing this, my son asked me if that meant he no longer had to brush
his teeth since his toothbrush was battery operated. "

old-fashioned hammer?)


I personally think it is proof of how far out of touch with reality the
Washington crowd really is.

I hope those of you with the ability to share this man's post will do so.
