Regulatory Mafia
A Greg Delany
Time to get Government out of the regulation business!
There is no Constitutional Amendment allowing Politicians to dictate industry in America!
The cost of everything in the world is affected by Governmental interference!
Just by their regulations in the Oil and Gas industry. The cost of every product that depends on oil and gas has increase 100 fold.
You could allow the free market to dictate how much oil and gas are needed to meet the demand and the cost of everything will plummet. The US Government could purchase oil for the strategic reserve at a huge discount and store it themselves.
Inflation would disappear and the cost to transport would plummet as well. That way we could pay Truckers more money for their work and not have it go to fuel costs.
Plastics manufacturing cost would decrease
Air travel would be less expensive and the list goes on.
In my industry. The Construction Industry. The GC must add $100,000 for every new building constructed for a Government regulation on dust mitigation. It goes back to the EPA. The EPA concocted a bogus regulation to fine the General Contractors in the State of Arizona, if their dust particle reading are higher than their bogus number. It is a money grab!
Then they created an agency to inspect and fine the contractors if the sign we post has the wrong info on it, or there is a water truck onsite that is not registered in their data base. I must take a class every 3 years and get a certificate that must be kept onsite and we have to show daily records for how much water we used to combat the dust. The farmer across the street is exempt because he is regulated through the Dept of Agriculture.
If I use more than 6oo gallons of water per acre to combat the dust. I get fined by the BLM, because they determined that Arizona is in a Drought.
The EPA determined, if we do not use at least 600 gallons per acre we are not doing an effective job and will be fined.
Arizona is a desert. We are surrounded by large areas of dirt. Arizona is famous for dust storms because the wind blows here often and with vigor. Wind on dirt creates dust. This is when the EPA takes their measurements for dust particles!
Damned if you do and damned if you don't..
Get the Government thieves and Mafia out of the regulation business!

I agree totally. But then what do we do with the bureaucrats, for whom the bureaucracies exist after all? Remember, those people are otherwise unemployable and would have to go on welfare and compete with all the illegal migrants flooding the country.

Let 'em compete with their beloved migrants. Ef em sez I!
Lay down with dogs and you get fleas.
Actually it does present a problem; how do you transition government workers to private sector when we've outsourced said private sector? I suspect if these people knew their cushy government jobs weren't coming back they'd suddenly be MAGA to the core.
But never in history has any government successfully reduced it's size except through disaster and dissolution.
