Top 10 Most Egregious Government Regulations

Quote
Government in the United States, both federal and local, has enacted laws and regulations that drag down the economy and restrict individual liberty. Some regulations are so broad that they govern entire segments of the economy, while others tell us what we can and cannot do in our own homes. As President Reagan once said, “Government is not the solution to our problems. Government is the problem.” Here are the Top 10 Most Egregious Government Regulations:

1. ObamaCare overkill: If you think the 2,000-plus-page ObamaCare law is a travesty, wait until you see the regulations it spawned. >>> One section on Medicare took up six pages in the original law, yet HHS turned that into 429 pages of new regulations. At that rate, there will be more than a hundred thousand pages of regulations in place for doctors to consider before seeing a patient.
2. EPA’s carbon dioxide fixation: Talk about job-killing regulations. >>>
3. Lightbulb ban: >>>
4. TSA abuse: Whoever is writing the regulations for the Transportation Security Administration needs to lighten up. TSA officials think they are making the skies safe by patting down infants and grandmothers in wheelchairs, while giving travelers the option of being subjected to harmful radiation or on the receiving end of sexual abuse. There are plenty of other ways to ensure safety, like profiling young to middle-age male travelers from the Middle East.
5. Union favors: >>>
6. Food crackdown: >>>
7. Outside smoking ban: >>>
8. Trash violations: >>>
9. Illegal garden: >>>
10. Multicultural doll mandate: >>>

You know that this is just the tip of the marxist iceberg.
Reagan bankrupted the Soviet Empire ...

Obama is bankrupting the American Republic

About the lightbulb ban:  Here is a link Govtrackto a site showing how your congresscritter voted for it (the repeal failed).  My D congressman voted Nay and I'm going to let him have it.  I'm also hoarding.
