Barack Obama signing the Patient Protection and Cost-effective Care Act (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Satisfied New Yr! It’s bound to be an additional paternalistic one particular.
The nanny state never ever will get rolled back, so sorry individuals, this is only an “In” record.
For instance, the government shutdown (along with Obamacare) was the large political story of the year, but in the new bipartisan price range agreement, even the mandatory sequester cuts — the only opportunity to roll something back — had been eliminated.
So, right here are some new governmental outrages I’ve accumulated, in no specific order. They are mostly federal government-based mostly, but I would agree that products like Bloomberg’s Bloomberg’s large soda ban try belong.
(1) The Foods and Drug Administration’s (FDA) paternalistic, arrogant and pricey menu-labeling regulations are noteworthy. People attempting to “nudge” us to consume much better have been at it a lengthy time, Obamacare offers the ultimate push here.
(2) I also like Transportation Safety Administration’s (TSA) “detention pods” at airport exits Also of program the nudie scanners are enjoyable but that was, like, so 2012. Everyone is under NSA surveillance and DHS is increasingly untethered from terrorism.
(three) We can not disregard the lawless modifications to Obamacare, in specific the legislating by press conference in November and the quick waivers for Christmas.
(4) The Environmental Protection Agency’s surprise no-lead-in-your-fire-Hydrant rule are enjoyable for funds-strapped cities.
(five) The Highway Safety Institute recommending auto Booster Seats for children until they are 12 many years previous. This is classic in the vein of how we received transfat and soda bans. We constantly get the government we deserve, as they say.
(6) Impatient states really don’t want to wait for the FDA to regulate water-vapor-only emitting e-cigarettes. London deems them “medicines” And the French ban them in public spots. The French are also about to need Uber automobile rides to wait 15 minutes just before picking up a passenger, to safeguard entrenched entrants. France gets picked on a great deal but the French get the government they deserve too. I can say that without having chauvinism currently being of French descent myself.
(seven) Asset-forfeiture crazes more and more enrich government agencies at the expense of the innocent.
(eight) 1 wouldn’t know from lists like this one, but it’s supposed to be tough to make law there are not supposed to be that several. But disdainful of Congress and the separation of powers doctrine elemental to the Constitution, President Obama and these surrounding him recognize few if any limits on executive power. So: there is even an executive order directing the government to “prepare for worldwide warming.”
(9) As portion of the American Panopticon excesses exposed by Edward Snowden but warned of long, prolonged before he came along, TSA is now screening you long just before you ever get to the airport, via a slew of government databases. Government has never ever been in the privacy business, and has by no means necessary to try to pretend to defend it it just demands to permit it.
(10) Oh yes, in excess of at EPA again, “Richard Windsor, Model Employee.”
