At 68 NEW regulations per Day end of 4 years...

[OohPooPahDoo]

Which ones do you oppose?

1. The Dim Bulbs Rule. As per Congress, of course, for issuing an edict to phase out the incandescent light bulbs on which the world has relied for more than a century. With the deadline looming in 2012, Americans by the millions spent the past year pressing lawmakers to lift the ban which, contrary to eco-ideology, will kill more American jobs than create “green” ones. (Congress evidently overlooked the fact that the vast majority of fluorescent bulbs are manufactured in China.) The 2012 appropriations bill barred the use of funds to enforce the regulation, but it remains in law.

2. The Obamacare Chutzpah Rule. The past year was marked by a slew of competing court rulings on the constitutionality of the individual mandate, the cornerstone of Obamacare. The law requires U.S. citizens to obtain health insurance or face financial penalties imposed by the Internal Revenue Service. Never before has the federal government attempted to force all Americans to purchase a product or service. To allow this regulatory overreach to stand would undermine fundamental constitutional constraints on government powers and curtail individual liberties to an unprecedented degree.

3. The Nationalization of Internet Networks Rule. Regulations that took effect on November 1 prohibit owners of broadband networks from differentiating among various content in managing Internet transmissions. (In other words, the Federal Coercion Communications Commission effectively declared the broadband networks to be government-regulated utilities.) The FCC imposed the “network neutrality” rule despite explicit opposition from Congress and a federal court ruling against it. The rule threatens to undermine network investment and increase online congestion.

4. The Equine Equality Rule. As of March 15(the Ides of March, no less), hotels, restaurants, airlines, and the like became obliged to modify “policies, practices, or procedures” to accommodate miniature horses as service animals. According to the Department of Justice, which administers the rule, miniature horses are a “viable alternative” to dogs for individuals with allergies or for observant Muslims and others whose religious beliefs preclude canine accompaniment.

5. The Smash Potatoes Regulation. The U.S. Department of Agriculture proposed stricter nutrition standards that would prohibit school lunch ladies from serving more than one cup per week of potatoes per student. Instead, schools would be required to provide more dark green, orange, and dry bean varieties (think kale) in order to foster vegetable diversity. The cafeteria mandate will affect more than 98,000 elementary and secondary schools at a cost exceeding $3.4 billion in the next four years.

6. The Bring on the Blackouts Rule. The EPA is proposing to force power plants to reduce mercury by 90 percent within three years—at an estimated cost of $11 billion annually. A significant number of coal-fired plants will actually exceed the standard—by shutting down altogether. Indeed, grid operators, along with 27 states, are warning that the overly stringent regulations will threaten the reliability of the electricity system and dramatically increase power costs. Just like candidate Obama promised.

NOTE:
The Sacketts wanted to challenge that order, but lower courts have said that they cannot.
The EPA issues nearly 3,000 administrative compliance orders a year that call on alleged violators of environmental laws to stop what they're doing and repair the harm they've caused.
Major business groups, homebuilders, road builders and agricultural interests all have joined the Sacketts in urging the court to make it easier to contest EPA compliance orders issued under several environmental laws.

So the EPA has issued 3,000 compliance orders AND guess what ... THAT IS THE RED TaPE Obama wants to CUT!! He's had 4 years!
In its statement, UtahAmerican Energy blames the Obama administration for instituting policies that will close down "204 American coal-fired power plants by 2014" and for drastically reducing the market for coal.

In its statement, UtahAmerican Energy blames the Obama administration for instituting policies that will close down "204 American coal-fired power plants by 2014."
"There is nowhere to sell our coal, and when we can, the market prices are far lower," the statement said. "Without markets, there can be no coal mines and no coal jobs."

Why would ANY President want companies to go bankrupt?


7. The Wal-Mart Windfall Amendment. One of hundreds of new regulations dictated by the Dodd–Frank financial regulation statute requires the Federal Reserve to regulate the fees that financial institutions may charge retailers for processing debit card purchases. The prospect of losing more than $6 billion in annual revenue is prompting financial institutions to hike fees on a variety of banking services to make up for the much smaller payments from stores. Thus, consumers are picking up the tab for retailers’ big regulatory score.

8. The Plumbing Police Rule. The U.S. Department of Energy began preparations for tightening the water efficiency standards on urinals. It’s all spelled out in excruciating detail in the Energy Conservation Program for Consumer Products Other Than Automobiles, which also regulates the efficiency of toilets, faucets, and showers. And refrigerators and freezers, air conditioners, water heaters, furnaces, dishwashers, clothes washers and dryers, ovens and ranges, pool heaters, television sets, and anything else the Energy Secretary deems as electrically profligate. (Urinals also are regulated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, which requires at least one urinal for every 40 workers at a construction site for companies with less than 200 employees and one for every 50 workers where more than 200 are employed. The Americans with Disabilities Act also delineates the proper dimensions and placement of bowls.)

9. The Chill the Economy Regulation. The EPA issued four interrelated rules governing emissions from some 200,000 boilers nationwide at an estimated capital cost of $9.5 billion. These boilers burn natural gas, fuel oil, coal, biomass (e.g., wood), refinery gas, or other gas to produce steam, which is used to generate electricity or provide heat for factories and other industrial and institutional facilities. Under the so-called Boiler MACT, factories, restaurants, schools, churches, and even farms would be required to conduct emissions testing and comply with standards of control that vary by boiler size, feedstock, and available technologies. The stringency and cost of the new regulations provoked an outpouring of protest, including 21 governors and more than 100 Members of Congress. On May 18, the EPA published a notice of postponement in the Federal Register,but the regulations remain on the books.

10. The Unions Rule Rule. New rules require government contractors to give first preference in hiring to the workers of the company that lost the contract. Tens of thousands of companies will be affected, with compliance costs running into the tens of millions of dollars—costs ultimately borne by taxpayers. The rule effectively ensures that a non-unionized contractor cannot replace a unionized one. That’s because any new contractor will be obliged to hire its predecessors’ unionized workers and thus be forced by the “Successorship Doctrine” to bargain with the union(s).

No wonder you folks lost.

Regulations are there, because you can't fix stupid.

#1 says it all. Their preferred military weapon is the bayonet and their preferred light bulb is based on technology over 100 years old.

Politicians can be counted on to confuse "more" regulation with "better" regulation. This probably won't be pretty.

That said, here comes four years of complaining about Obama from the people who handed him the election.

Sorry but why does Obama get the blame for a bill that George W. Bush signed into law?

 

[Greenbeard]

Rules and Regulations merely handed down by Organizations do not have the force of Law and do not have to be obeyed.

All federal rulemaking is authorized by legislation passed by Congress. They do have the force of law.

This completely explains Wal Mart's Bluebird card!

Consumer's pick up the tab either way. The problem I have with credit/debit card fees is that cash paying consumers wind up picking up part of the tab for card using consumers.

 

[Sallow]

Never before has the federal government attempted to force all Americans to purchase a product or service.

Not true. We are all required to purchase retirement, disability, and medical insurance, usually in the form of Social Security and Medicare.

WTF?

I never posted this..

Only one out of ten do not make sense. I don't understand the horses thing and miniature horses are dumb as shit

incandescent bulbs are obsolete.....get over it
Obamacare is the law of the land.....get over it
If you dump shit into the air, it is up to you to prove it is harmless. Otherwise STFU
Credit card and debit card fees are excessive
Energy conservation is as critical as new energy sources. Smarter is better

Not logical.

You ask which regulations should not be law, but then say 'get over it' because it's the law of the land.


LOL

Sorry that society has passed you by

Stock up on those lightbulbs

 

[Mr. Shaman]

We saw what deregulation of the finance sector, environmental protections and the workplace has done to this country

Let's talk specifics

What regulations do you want to eliminate?

TAKE your pick because ALL of them are JOB killers!

Yeah....let's HEAR IT!! for.....Allowing The Marketplace....

....To Regulate Itself!!!!!

wrong, toady. What we saw is the inevitable result of government telling banks how to run their business. The exact opposite of what you claim.

 

[rightwinger]

All of them.

Why?

Rules and Regulations are not Laws so they don't have to be obeyed.

Laws are passed by the State Legislature and signed by the Governor. Those are called Statutes.

Laws are also passed by the House and Senate then signed by the President. Those are called Laws.

Rules and Regulations merely handed down by Organizations do not have the force of Law and do not have to be obeyed.

THEN WHY the fu...k have 68 new rules/regulations a day???

Explain to me the idiocy of writing 68 new rules regulations and NOT expecting them to be obeyed???

What's the purpose according to you for wasting the time and money writing 68 new rules and regulations a day if they aren't OBEYED??

68 rules in a nation of over 300 million....is that a lot?

that's 68 A DAY. and yes it is a LOT to business and why we are not RECOVERING..he and his comrade in arms administation is strangling them with all the new RULES AND REGULATIONS..but we can see you don't care

You were expecting logic from rightwinger? If you complained about Obama setting up Gulag and sending thousands of his political opponents, his argument would be "get over it."

What is the proper number of rules and regulations for a nation of 300 million?

Six, seven total?

 

[bripat9643]

Which ones do you have a problem with?

All of them, dipshit. If this nation was doing okay before they were created, then why do we need them?

 

[bripat9643]

Never before has the federal government attempted to force all Americans to purchase a product or service.

Not true. We are all required to purchase retirement, disability, and medical insurance, usually in the form of Social Security and Medicare.

Wrong. We were taxed to pay for it. No one purchased anything.

All of them, dipshit. If this nation was doing okay before they were created, then why do we need them?

So you live next to a chemical plant and they dump their chemical waste right into the river. It is a lot cheaper that way. So you see no need for a regulation on that?
