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.

A biasedly written news report? THE HELL YOU SAY! Blasphemer!!!!

*Okay, so his words were misquoted AND taken out of context. I get it. Now that I've read Perry's ACTUAL words, I understand what he's saying.

LMNO, I’m not that smart, I just don’t have much of a life right now.

After reading this article and many more I came to the conclusion that they were more of opinion than fact. Basically they took a comment he said and blew it out of proportion. From what I found, Perry is calling for the Obama administration to put a hold on all new regulations for six months.

http://www.rickperry.org/news/perry-obama-administration-should-impose-freeze-on-new-federal-regulations/

““It is hard enough for small businesses to keep their doors open under this Administration’s failed economic experiment, and the last thing employers need is additional regulations that kill jobs,” said Gov. Perry. “While the president issues executive orders to study what regulations harm business”

To proclaim that Perry is trying to shut down The FDA, EPA, Federal Reserve, etc. is ludicrous
This would be like saying Obama’s Moratorium on Deep Water Drilling would halt all off shore drilling.  We all know this was only a temporary freeze (A good call because at the time we would not be able to handle another deep well explosion and we would have lost our Gulf Coasts forever regardless of what the media is saying, we still have a lot of contaminated marsh)

This is just the beginning so, look forward to a lot of propaganda coming from both sides. I would like to say if it sounds to bizarre to be true, it’s probably not but that’s not the case anymore.

I'm with you teko... I don't see how this makes any sense.

Then again, I'm a blind Rick Perry follower, so I'm sure there's method to his madness, and he's correct in his "moratorium on regulations" stance.

~chants~
PERRY!!! PERRY!!! PERRY!!! PERRY!!! PERRY!!!

*In all seriousness, I'm not following the logic of this suggested moratorium. Hopefully R Glass, Brice or MikeSimon will come along to explain it (they're smarter than I am), and clarify the stance.
