It’s good to know that there’s no problem in life that Emperor Bloomberg (for life) won’t solve for his subjects.

How about a long crusade on a short pier with all his minions and do us all a favor.

Okay, in a way this is exactly what the framers of the Constitution had in mind when they gave a few enumerated powers to the Federal Government and reserved everything else to the states and citizens. This allowed many different experiments to be tried in different regions of the country. The way the citizens of the states responded, either by throwing politicians out on their asses or by leaving the state or by accepting the innovation, would demonstrate the feasibility and/or wisdom of the project. This is also why too much federal government trying to make one-size-fits-all law on a wide variety of subjects is deadly. It reduces the diversity of a wide variety of social/economic environmental niches and makes it more and more impossible that new and better, or just different, ways of doing things can emerge to solve the wide array of problems of life.

Sheesh. And we were worried about Obama being a fascist.

This runt needs an attitude adjustment. He's under the mistaken impression he's Emperor of the World.

First they came for Cigarettes and since I didn’t smoke, I ignored it..
Next they came for Trans-fat and since I didn’t like it, I didn’t eat it
Next they came for salt and since I LOVED IT, I painted camo on my face and...

Oh wait, nevermind.

The law of inintended consequences will be enforced.

Salt is in many (not all) foods at a certain level for a REASON. It is a preservative. How many will die from spoiled food?
