You can’t blame Americans for feeling as though the government is increasingly crossing boundaries and reaching into their daily lives. The Obama administration and regulatory authorities such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) appear to be coming at us on all fronts.
The Republican-led Congress has been steadfast in its efforts to beat back the EPA. Recent committee hearings have exposed the adverse consequences that the EPA’s regulation of greenhouse gas emissions will have on the job market. Unfortunately for hardworking Americans, the cost of the EPA’s action will make energy prices higher, drive jobs overseas and force more citizens into the unemployment line. Under the Obama administration, the EPA has been transformed into a job-killing machine.
The EPA is donning a new title, as well — “nanny state” behemoth. While many are aware of the fight against cap and trade and the EPA’s regulation of greenhouse gas emissions, the totality of their smaller actions, which often go unnoticed, is starting to add up. They already tell us what kinds of light bulbs we can use and how much water we are allowed to have in our toilets. Now, they have their sights set on our soap.

What brand of dishwasher do you have and how old it is? Yes, we put the TSP in to replace the phosphates they took out, too.
I’ve noticed they are running the cycles longer. It’s funny that they make the motors smaller to save on electrical and hot water energy, but then they run the cycles longer, which uses MORE energy.
It’s plastic I don’t see how, you can buy commercial rinse aides, both Cascade and Finish have them, the Cascade works better than the Finish from my experience with it.
White vinegar is used to clean coffee pot mineral build up all the time. I use it in the rinse aide box of my dishwasher and have had no problems.
Vinegar is a very good product with multiple uses google it to see some of them.
I’m an old geezer, and a lot of products that actually worked, are now replaced with ‘new’ and improved or removed from the market. Well their ‘new and improved’ usually don’t work as well or taste as good as the original.
Laundry products is one key example. Now I have to buy color safe bleach to add to my laundry to get the lights ‘reasonable’ clean.
You will notice it on your glasses before you will on dishes...it pits and leaves your glasses looking like they didn’t wash at all.
Ever tried that fat free cheese...taste/ looks like rubber, even the 2% is bad.
BIG NANNY knows best! but then again most of BIG NANNY doesn’t even know how to do their own laundry some one else is doing that peon job.
I do know the clothes are not coming out as clean they look dingy to me some times..I just thought it was the water..Our water has been changed to Waco water and it taste and smells awful...
Memphis has some of the best water in the nation, artcian wells, but I still use a Brita filter to get rid of the chlorine. You might try a Brita pitcher. Or you will have to move to bottled water. If it smells it probably has sulfer in it.
I noticed it in my pastel colors, of which I wear a lot as they are what look best on me.
Triclosan kills the HIV virus among others.....http://www.tradeget.com/free_list/p52286/F12345/triclosan.html
Regular soap and water kills the HIV virus
“False. It kills bacteria, not viruses.”
Those are your words not mine.
Yep, anti-bacterial stuff is, well, anti-bacterial. Triclosan kills both bacteria and viruses, but not all bacteria and not all viruses. I equated it to prescribing antibiotics for a viral infection, but I guess the anti-bacterial thing is just symantics.
It’s a six month old Maytag from Home Depot.
