Dopey Regulations Keep On Coming

[Clementine]

Might be a good idea of congress spent time going over current laws on the books and started getting rid of stupid ones. When they realize later that a law was based on faulty information, they should change it or do away with it. We also have duplicate laws and programs. It's like posting threads on this board. Sometimes you don't see that there is already a thread, so you make a new one. Congress is like that. They never read anything.

Of course, every time someone comes up with a boneheaded idea for a law, they tend to run with it if it appears to fit into the agenda. This would be one of those.

In his recent speech about the economy, President Obama noted that "there are still some kind of dopey regulations on the books." He didn’t note that his Administration has been adding to them at a dizzying rate. For example, one of the dopiest, in concept and execution, was last year’s rule to regulate the energy use of microwave ovens when they aren’t being used. It went by this catchy title: Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Standby Mode and Off Mode for Microwave Ovens.
.......

It’s far from clear that the Obama Administration is actually doing much to get rid of "kind of dopey" regulations. It would be great if it could simply stop creating them.
