No regulations is the thing that is being pushed. HARD.

[Horse with no Name]

Everyone of the fuckheads that open their piehole that shit spews out.

But, as it goes, we will be led down that road.

Lack of a strong LEFT opposition has simply erased the last 30 years of progress in almost EVERYTHING we hold near and dear.

[WHEN CRABS ROAR]

1. Speaking of roads, when do we get rid of stop signs?

[KT2000]

2. It is only the billionaires

that want the no regulations. Small businesses are not so concerned with that and welcome some additional regulation is what I am reading. How easily people are led.

We should demand a list of the regulations they want abolished and their justification. It would soon become apparent that they just want to shift their costs to the general public in the form of funeral expenses and health care.

3. And when we get back to the early 1900's, people will wake up.

Air that is unbreathable, buildings falling down for lack of standards, children being put to work, get rid of that pesky minimum wage and overtime pay, water poisoning us, workers dying in preventable accidents, life expectancy back to 60 years.

The list goes on and on. I can't wait.

6. This is the Republican Health care plan

DIE EARLY!!! They just want to help us out.

[Curmudgeoness]

8. It appears so. We are "living too long", aren't we?

Damn those medical advances. Especially penicillin. If we would just stop living, SS would be saved.

Aggghhhhhhhh! Repukes are making me crazy. :crazy:

4. erased the last 30 years of progress? I believe the last 30 years of ever rightward politic has

erased every bit of economic progress we have made since 1939

5. +1

The progress made the past 30 years has been vast, but it's been FOR the robber barons.

Just about all of it.

7. Of course, you are correct. +1000. n/t

9. Funny thing about steam engines and regulation.

A governor. A regulator.

We've lost track of how the world works. The ease of which we can stroll through life due to the use of petroleum, I believe, is what has helped us lose track of how the world works. Things don't just happen in a vacuum, nor all alone. And that's machines. When it comes to people regulation is even more important in order to preserve the order of a society. And if that needs explaining, then we've gone back to the stone age.

Take off the regulation, and things just blow up. I thought that was obvious.

Banks or steam engines. It's a system, it requires control in order to continue functioning without destroying itself.
