Obama's Nannies Want To Control Everything
Written by Brian Garst, Posted in The Nanny State & A Regulated Society
The Washington Post outlines their sweeping agenda of government control:
The Obama administration is taking on Cheerios. And popular cold remedies and swimming pool drains and rhinestones on children’s clothing.
With much of Washington focused on efforts to revamp the health-care system and address climate change, a handful of Obama appointees have been quietly exercising their power over the trappings of daily life. They are awakening a vast regulatory apparatus with authority over nearly every U.S. workplace, 15,000 consumer products, and most items found in kitchen pantries and medicine cabinets.
…
The new regulators display a passion for rules and a belief that government must protect the public from dangers lurking at home and on the job — one more way the new White House is reworking the relationship between government and business.
And so we march merrily along down the road to serfdom. Are the chains getting heavy, yet?
