State lawmakers are fed up with the federal government micromanaging their lives.There is a resolution to this frustration that states tote.
What is there in an individuals life each day that one could point out that government doesn't have some sort of control over?

The states created the central government and should dismantle it, beginning with refusing to send any money to the damable fools of DC and refusing Obamacare and all other communist democrat plans of destruction. What a waste of taxpayers money is the whole federal government.

One point that the CFL Marxist overlook is that millions of
ornamental and antique light fixtures would look stupid
and become worthless with CFL bulbs.

Correct. It’s ridiculous for the feds to mandate what bulb can be used by us peons. There’s a place for both and people should make the choice for themselves.

WHY did GWB sign this POS legisation? I realized he wanted to be “liked” by evironmentalists who hated him, but he could have veoted it and sent it back to committee WITHOUT the light bulb ban. Then again, his “advisors” were morons.

The vast bulk of the political class of both parties would seem to be almost completely divorced from real life, let alone the concept of limited government.

Toilets. We have to get commodes on the list in SC.

And washing machines and dishwashers. I forgot washing machines and dishwashers.

“Oooh, maybe we can buy them from there.”
Well, this sounds like a good idea, but... a company sets up shop in SC (pretty capital-intensive, BTW); then, the feds will set up border agents to check cars for illegal lightbulbs. A tax will be set up for enforcement on everyone (on the assumption that you are purchasing illegal lightbulbs). Far fetched?

Then the “feds” will need to be arrested and jailed.
