Looking to create another government solution by manufacturing a non-problem.

I hate tyrants!

Did basically the same thing to kids clothing and toy makers. There are so many relatively new regulations, tagging requirements, registration, documentation,etc that small home businesses have a hard time keeping up with. It doesn’t just effect people trying to sell handmade items through a business. You cannot gift or donate even one handmade item intended for use by children under 12 without the item meeting all the new regulations. Or you could face a fine of $14,000 per incident.

Do you know why Venezuela has shortages of basic necessities? Because of government interference with businesses. Shortages will eventually afflict us for the same reason.

Let me guess that Procter & Gamble contributes to both of those Congress members

What was it Reagan said? "If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. If it stops moving, subsidize it."

Of course, HE was joking ...

We already regularly buy trisodium phosphate at the local hardward store because so much of the household soaps we use no longer have a real cleaning or sudsing ability. Unbelievable.

how will citizens survive without government bureaucrats and hyper-regulation? Amazing we’re all alive now without our big brother telescreens we can’t turn off.

Thank GOD they are dealing with this, instead of Socialized medical care, an out-of-control EPA, and arson and looting and murder in Baltimore!

After my youngest was born, I got into making my own soap. Fun, a bit dangerous, and a bit creative. Did the craft show - country fair circuit for a few years with son#3 as my main salesman. It gave me a chance to do something with one of the kids that we both enjoyed. (He still is good in sales) Never did anything but soap because anything else required testing, laboratory approvals & such. Still use only handmade soaps today because I believe that they are far superior to commercial brands YMMV. Seems like the goal of today's lawmakers os to make everyone a criminal (And I have one heck of a post apocalyptic skill set )
