Perry reveals plan for total US Anarchy:Moratorium on all regulation

http://thinkprogress.org/green/2011/08/15/296314/perry-reveals-plan-for-total-u-s-anarchy-put-a-moratorium-on-all-regulations/


Today, Gov. Rick Perry (R-TX) issued the first policy position of his presidential campaign by asking the White House to issue a “moratorium on regulations across this country”:


We’re calling today on the president of the United States to put a moratorium on regulations across this country, because his regulations, his EPA regulations are killing jobs all across America.

Watch it:





“We’re sending out a request today asking President Obama to put a moratorium on all regulations,” Perry said on WHO radio in Iowa, recorded live by ThinkProgress.

Under such a moratorium, the Food and Drug Administration would stop approving new drugs and preventing human experimentation; the USDA would stop checking for food safety; the EPA would stop monitoring for poisons in drinking water; the Library of Congress would stop loaning materials to blind people; the NTSB would stop investigating airplane accidents; HHS would end Medicare payments; no more patents, copyrights, or trademarks would be issued; DHS would stop protecting chemical facilities from terrorist attacks; the Treasury would stop printing currency; financial sanctions on hostile nations like North Korea and Iran would end; and the Federal Reserve System would shut down.

Perry’s “moratorium on regulations” would mean a literal end to the rules of law in the United States. At least it would also mean that all of President George W. Bush’s midnight regulations favoring polluters and industry abuses would also be lifted.




Update



Perry is taking a more strident stand than the one his staff has prescribed for him on his website, a “six-month freeze on new federal regulations.” Such a freeze would prevent everything from science-based standards for smog pollution to approval of the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline.

OMG, I had absolutely no idea this happened.  How utterly disgusting.  I think you have just motivated me to grow more of my veggies then I do now.  

I have seen the aftermath first hand of animal feces getting into drinking water.  I cannot even begin to imagine the awful things that could happen with human feces..in food and of course that opens the door to water contamination.  You can bet I'll be reading up on this...that is awful.

Yes. Its called (sludge) and they take the human waste, treat it, and then spray it on the fields used for crops. Its disgusting. I have done some looking into it because there is a place not too far from where I live that I heard was doing this. I found out its someones bright idea and catching on thanks to some folks with small brains (in my opinion).
They cant kill all diseases either, so there are some serious diseases that are still living.
I read they got the idea from 3rd world countries. (now doesnt that make perfect sense?)
Anyway, its sick and experimental and probably in some of our store bought veggies, wheat etc... I am 100% against this. Puts whole new meaning into praying before you eat.

Wow. Farm dust? This is stupid. Just like studying how much flatulence cows have and how it effects the ozone. Please. These people are all crazy. If they really care about the environment, why not worry about things like drinking water full of prescription drugs and hair. Now thats disgusting and something to be concerned about. How about the government using human waste as fertilizer. Theres a danger waiting to happen.

EPA to Crack Down on Farm Dust
http://www.news9.com/story/12899662/epa-to-crack-down-on-farm-dust?redirected=true
“OKLAHOMA CITY -- The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is considering a crackdown on farm dust, so senators have signed a letter addressing their concerns on the possible regulations.
The letter dated July 23 to the EPA states, "If approved, would establish the most stringent and unparalleled regulation of dust in our nation's history." It further states, "We respect efforts for a clean and healthy environment, but not at the expense of common sense. These identified levels will be extremely burdensome for farmers and livestock producers to attain. Whether its livestock kicking up dust, soybeans being combined on a dry day in the fall, or driving a car down the gravel road, dust is a naturally occurring event."
Read the letter to EPA signed by 21 senators including Jim Inhofe and Tom Coburn
Many in the Oklahoma farming industry are opposed to the EPA's consideration. One farmer said the possible regulations are ridiculous.
"It's plain common sense, we don't want to do anything detrimental," said farmer Curtis Roberts. "If the dust is detrimental to us, it's going to be to everybody. We're not going to do anything to hurt ourselves or our farm."
Roberts, a fourth generation farmer and rancher in Arcadia, said regulating dust in rural areas will hurt farmers' harvest, cultivation and livelihood.
"Anytime you work ground, you're going to have dust. I don't know how they'll regulate it," Roberts said. "The regulations are going to put us down and keep us from doing things we need to be doing because of the EPA."
Oklahoma Farm Bureau President Mike Spradling said the rules could be detrimental to farmers across the Sooner State.
"We as an organization do not feel dust is a pollutant," Spradling said. "It would almost be impossible to comply with what's being addressed now from the EPA as in agriculture. We're doing everything we possibly can."
"It's just common sense, we don't like dust in the morning but it's something we got to live with," Roberts said.”
