Ping.
I'm disappointed...not surprised, but disappointed.
Our country is being destroyed by our own leaders.
So, assuming the new regulations correctly implement all existing U.S. laws, what is the problem with those regulations being crafted so as to facility free trade with our nearest neighbors?
It's like complaining about two states deciding they are going to standardized the rail line widths so that the trains don't have to have their wheels swapped out at the border.
So, is this "re-write" simply changing the track widths, or is it something serious. That's the information that is necessary to understand if this is a real problem.
For example, some were upset in a thread a couple of days ago about a railroad company wanting to eliminate safety inspections on one of their trains in the United States, claiming the inspection replicated one done in Mexico for the same train.
A regulatory change eliminating the redundant inspections would be a good thing, something that should be supported by limited-government private-enterprise conservatives. But many were simply upset that "mexicans" would be inspecting our trains, and talked about how corrupt "mexicans" were and how they couldn't be trusted.
Some got confused and thought this was about cargo inspections, and bemoaned how the terrorists would buy off the "mexicans" and ship WMDs into the country.
So in the end, we had conservatives taking the side of the AFL-CIO, who of course opposed the regulatory change because they wanted to keep their union employees working on unnecessary tasks so they'd keep getting union dues to use to elect democrats to destroy our country.
So is this regulatory changes that facility the free market and remove unncessary burdens from private enterprise, or is it something else?

Sweet Adeline,
My Adeline,
At night, dear heart,
For you I pine;
In all my dreams,
Your fair face beams.
You're the flower of my heart,
Sweet Adeline.
