Bingo! We have a winner!

Which regulations are you planning to get rid of?

*EVERYTHING* from the last three years, anyway. Add half of all the rest and
we've just started.

The way I see it,
all the regulations were put in place because of previous abuses. Now,
it is certainly possible that there are regulations that don't make
sense, and I'd certainly want to get rid of those. But which ones, be
specific, are problematic for you?

Good grief. Start with OSHA, EPA, and Education.

So protecting people from corporate abuses isn't necessary anymore?

1 Protection isn't free
2 The government has protected us right out of jobs
3 The government is continuing #2

Corporations are amoral, if they can make a profit, they do it.

So don't buy their stuff. They will soon learn otherwise. You can't do that
with government.

If
that involves polluting water, or air, or anything else, sure, no
problem. Destroy an irreplaceable Indonesian rain forest so they can
make a bit more money on napkins, fine.

Cry me a river.

Corporations aren't even "American" anymore, they're multinational. So
if they can make a profit for their 1% owners by screwing Americans,
sure.

They aren't because the government has chased them away.

Come on krw, what regulations has OSHA, or EPA put in place that are
unnecessary?

99% of them.

I agree with you on DoE. I think we do need DoE, but this whole shift
to Teaching To The Test is going to produce a crop of kids who know
how to take a test.

More bull****. The problem is that it isn't (the federal) government's.
Government == Spend more, get less.
