If you had to pick the most inane, pointless, and
intrusive example of government stupidity, what would you pick? We have lots of
examples of regulators running amok. Regulations making it difficult for trucking firms to weed out drunk
drivers.
Year-long sting operations by federal milk police. Rules harassing coffee shops with
bikini-clad sales staff. OSHA requirements for expensive safety harnesses for people working 11 feet off
the ground.
But we also have really absurd examples of wasteful
spending.Forcing taxpayers to pay millions of dollars for pro-Obamacare and pro-IRS propaganda. Doing interviews – at a per-person cost of $6,000 – about erectile dysfunction and sticking the tab on us. Giving disability benefits to a grown man who wants to wear diapers and live as an “adult baby.” Squandering $400K on experimental underwear that detect cigarette smoke. Paying 35 times the market price for some Kindles. A $100,000 library grant to a city without a library. Throwing $100 million in the garbage by subsidizing a leftist bureaucracy in Paris that advocates for higher taxes in the United States.........Today’s post, however, could win a prize for the most profound and disturbing example of government stupidity. It mixes foolish red tape with over-the-top political correctness…….To Read More….
My Take - And here The Chairman of the Board for the Club For the Galacticly Stupid - Nancy Pelosi - claims there's nothing left to cut. She may not be the dumbest woman in U.S. politics, but she still has time, and is moving up on the list. Who know...she might still beat out the President of the Club For the Galacticaly Stupid - Maxine Waters!
