I am? You find factual truth to be "silly"?
The New Right (the Crazy Right Wing as I like to characterize them) is reactionary. They want a return to the Gilded Age, when all of the items noted in my "silly" post did not exist. Oh, and I forgot labor unions, and an electrified rural America and a strong and growing middle class. Yes, the good old days which weren't so good.
They're batshit insane. Deregulations caused the great depression(Harding, Hover) and Great recession, but they somehow think doing the same will have different results? Government regulations on air, water and food is why America has such high standards that these assholes can brag about the dirty water of mexico as they certainly do. Most of the world would kill for the clean air, water and food America enjoys because of government regs! Liberterians really are sick in the head.
I haven't heard anyone mention deregulating air, water and food. The regulations strangling startup businesses and industry are what hold down economic growth.
"Obama Imposed 75,000 Pages of New Regulations in 2014
Just in the last few weeks, the Obama administration has proposed or imposed over 1,200 new regulations on the American people that will add even more to the already crushing $2 trillion per year cost burden of the federal regulatory machine. According to data compiled from the federal government’s Regulations.gov website by the Daily Caller, most of the new regulatory schemes involve energy and the environment — 139 during a mere two-week period in December, to be precise. In all, the Obama administration foisted more than 75,000 pages of regulations on the United States in 2014, costing over $200 billion, on the low end, if new proposed rules are taken into account.."

Give an example of why a regulation, such as a zoning law, or one disallowing ABC Industries from discharging polluted water into a river is a bad practice. I'm sure there are some silly regulations, but rather than paint with broad brush as you always do, why not use one or two examples of regs which you find extremely toxic.
"....I'm sure there are some silly regulations,...."
Done.
"Done"? Thank you higher power!!! And what will you do now that you will stop posting on this message board? Canvas for the KKK or the New John Birch Society?
DAMN! I should have known, you lied again. You said you were done, and then proceeded to expel your usual tripe half a dozen more times.
