For months, federal agencies and the White House have sidetracked dozens of major regulations that cover everything from power plant pollution to workplace safety to a crackdown on Wall Street.


The rules had been largely put on hold during the presidential campaign as the White House sought to quiet Republican charges that President Barack Obama was an overzealous regulator who is killing U.S. jobs.


But since the election, the Obama administration has quietly reopened the regulations pipeline.

News from The Associated Press over, administration unleashes new rules

Like a true Socialist, Obama could not tell the truth about his plans, and his Propagandists were too busy waving pom-poms and wading in his juice to do their job for the American people.

Parasite Nation strikes again.

Guess who will pay for these new rules and regs?

You... suckers!
The cost gets passed onto middle America.
It will cost jobs too. ROTFLOL... ignorant is as ignorant does.

The rich? LOL... this will bother them like a fart in a hurricane.

In recent weeks, the Environmental Protection Agency has proposed rules to update water quality guidelines for beaches and other recreational waters and deal with runoff from logging roads.

:scared: Everybody panic!

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, meanwhile, has proposed long-delayed regulations requiring auto makers to include event data recorders - better known as "black boxes" - in all new cars and light trucks beginning in 2014.

Dear lord, information about the seconds prior to a traffic accident? Talk about your big brother...trying to improve road safety.

He said the EPA is principally focused on meeting court-ordered deadlines,

Court-ordered? But wait, Obama isn't a court!

So, does anybody have a particular regulation they have a particular problem with.

The owner of Papa Johns, CEO, John Schnatter made a big brouhaha over this too, yet changed his mind later on.

Never underestimate the power of your competition to keep the market sane. ;)

Disconnect.

These regs and associated costs get passed on to consumers. Businesses require profits... or they tank, and when government adds burdens, we pay.

As for Papa John's... what is the lesson here? Just make the changes that need be made in silence. When prices increase or people are cut to 30-hours to escape the Iron Fist of government... Just Do It (without making a public stink about it).

WHY? What's the lesson again?
You cannot fight Parasite Nation's Propagandists (Journ-O-lists) and win. So Fark them and just act.

Why complain? They are protecting us from ourselves.

I would cut the black box... or... never buy a car that has one of those putrid devices. Which means never buying a new car. I'll buy big 'ol gas guzzling rigs that a mechanic can fix, and some stylish Euro sport cars. An Alfa Sud for tearing around back roads, an older Ferrari for mid length Interstate stretches, and an early 70's 450 SL. Something that classifies as an old timer and they can't put a black box in.

This list sucks. Allow me to help you be a counoseur.

If you can find one, an early 80s Mercedes 190 evolution. Great car, you'll love it.

If you can afford it, a classic 60s car with retrorod, up to date tech. Jag E types, Corvettes, these are nice looking cars, that just need to be a little more modern.

An early 90s Aston Martin would make a nice touring car.

If you wanna go fast, for relatively cheap, get yourself an 87 buick Grand National. Comfort and speed, and even OK fuel Econ.

zimmer: this process has been in place way before Obamacare--it's called adjusting to the costs of business. However, whether it be the higher costs of Obamacare, gasoline, utilities, materials to make the product, there is always someone out there that wants your market and will not be outdone(the true arts of a real free market, you understand.), and those people have always been here way before Obamacare or Romneycare.

Cut to 10 hours if you want. When people get pizzas to their homes cold and refuse the product, those customers will pick up their phones and call the competition and find someone that will deliver what they want.

WHY? What's the lesson again?

Like Romney told us what he'd do. Besides, Republicans love regulations too, just not aimed at their rich buddies.

they are much like pushers coming into an area of low drug abuse.

give the stuff away till people get hooked and make them dependent on the pushers

keeps the pushers wealthy and in power

ruins the society

What you fail to realize is, when there are more regulation it raises cost for everyone. Competition does not drive down the cost of new costly regulations.. Thus you wonder why so many of our companies have outsourced to other countries that favor businesses not wanting to strangle them with costly regulations. If you do business here you are heavily regulated, move out of country to a less regulated country lowers cost. Pretty simple.

You say it's called adjusting to the cost of business, yep that's right, and that is exactly why we're not competitive in the world market. Yeah we all adjust to the higher cost, so now a bottle of milk cost $20, now tell me who in the world can we export our milk to for $20 a bottle? Or any product for that matter because everything we have cost higher to make than anyplace else in the world, which further increases our trade imbalance because we are exporting nothing and importing everything. Yeah lets just make everything more expensive because liberal Obama and clan wants it that way.

Yes, that's why most of Corporate America loves the Republocrats. One likes to tax competition away, the other likes to regulate it away; the result is the same. Entanglement of corporations into the government, the rise of the Corporate State, rise of the Aristocracy, and death to the Free Market.

a motorcycle; speed/acceleration is about HP/weight. Parking is much less of a problem too. If you live in a bad climate for a MC then move. :)

Costs? You want to talk costs? OK. Why is it that a CT scan at Los Alamitos Medical Center lists a CT scan of the abdomen on a state website for $4,423.00 and Blue Shield says its negotiated rate at the hospital is about $2,400. And the Los Angeles Times asked for a cash price and was told it was $250.00? What happened to the Medical Center's needed cost of $4173.00? Did it go in to a black hole? A clerical error? What would happen to Blue Cross if it doesn't get it's $2150.00, and even if they got that what would they do with all of that--use every penny for administrative costs? Yeah right. :roll:

$20.00 milk? You would not have to worry about exporting it because the folks in this country would not have enough money to pay for it here. All of that profit is going to stockholders and not to working folks, so maybe we can have those rich folks go out and buy what they made, and if they don't want to pay for that milk, than they can pour it down the drain and take it off their taxes. And supply economics just keeps on making that all-important circuit to nowhere. :popcorn2:

Is this it? You are complaining about the government making regulations? Sorry if you want a world without standards, but you are just going to have to live with it. I don't even see any reason to argue with such a vague rant. It is amazing how you will whine about rules here, but have a woman want to get an abortion or a gay couple want to get married and then you are all for these costly regulations you say are so evil. Really, you should give it up. This is too obvious. This is just sour grapes over losing the election. Thanks for the tears, but it is not going to stop it from happening. Actually we might do more just so we can see you cry a little bit more while the world gets better.

In aviation, black boxes have been a tremendous help in investigating crashes and improving safety as a result.

So, does anybody have a particular regulation they have a particular problem with.

Great post!!

It really seems like the OP didn't read his own article.

Randy Rabinowitz, director of regulatory policy at OMB Watch, a private group that tracks federal rules, said regulations now being released are long overdue - in some cases months or even years after federal guidelines say they should have been published.

If anything, the GOP / TP have been successful in delaying the implementation of regs that were already supposed to be in place.

SCOTUS ruled on the EPA and CO2 back in 2007 (I think) and we still haven't seen the strict crack down on polluters.

This AP story seems to be more about the GOP's attempt to paint another false picture about what the executive branch does. Many times, their departments are following the law -- you know, the law already voted on and approved by the legislative branch.

This is a whole lotta GOP propaganda put out there to make their political benefactors feel better about campaign contributions.
 
Re: GOP decries looming 'regulatory cliff' in new term

Maybe to finance the masses to consume the products that make them rich in the first place. Obviously, I'm just guessing. Also, at some point in wealth there are always going to be some loose canons that say "enough is enough - I'm sick of making 100 million more than I spend".

Re: GOP decries looming 'regulatory cliff' in new term

Sorry. Wrong topic. I meant to say the fiscal cliff can should be getting kicked pretty soon.

This alone deserves Post of the Day. :lol:

Anyway, so the Reps have seen the light and don't want unnecessary and overly-burdensome laws and regulation. Is that it? I guess we should see some scaling back of the drug war them shouldn't we?

Thanks for the tips, but I like my selection of cars; I think a early 70's Super Bee would be a good add as well.
