Someone took it upon themselves to deliver a "junior high civics 101" lesson
to Jon on his recent post about "epa weenies".
I can't find the post, but I think that before one delivers civic lessons to
others, they need to pass the course.
EPA, HUD, FDA and others are REGULATORY agencies. One of my biggest gripes
about the federal government is that these Agencies CAN and DO create
binding
regulations WITHOUT congressional approval. There is no LAW that says
bumpers have to pass a 5 mph crash test...it is a regulation! Clinton tried
to end-run Congress by getting the FDA to declare their regulatory powers
over tobacco. Courts said NO NO. Doesn't happen that way very often. OSHA
has 1000's of regulations that Congress has never seen.
The point is, you have unelected bureaucrats creating regulations with the
power of laws....except you and I have little or no say in the process.
These unelected folks have one goal in life...continually come up with new
reasons to justify their existence (new dangers they must protect us from)
and to grow in size and budget. That's It!
Whew! Feel better now. :-)
