I don't want more regulation as it is a slippery slope employed by civil
servants that needs to constantly find new things to regulate in order
to keep their job. It has to be self sustaining or it "could" go away.
So regulation leads to more regulation.

I was intending to add that point, meself, Robert.

It's rampant throughout gov't starting with the legislator
themselves--all they can do is pass legislation; they have no other way
to accomplish anything.

So "when the only tool is a hammer" mantra applies; they create an
agency in response to some perceived problem, then the agency like CPSA
becomes self-perpetuating.

Maybe the best approach would be to bring it to the attention of some of
Trump's aides as another case of overreach and he'd issue an Executive
Order for us...

He has at least derailed WOTUS for a while that way...a _major_ win for
everybody excepting the Corps of Engineers and EPA.
