I like this guy. I like him a lot!
This is exactly the sort of thing that we Tea Party conservatives have been wanting to hear from our elected reps.
Commie lib heads are exploding everywhere tonight. They love the government telling them what they can and cannot do. Less decisions to have to make that cuts into their texting time.
“Rep. Don Young (R-Alaska, left) plans to introduce a controversial bill that would abolish every federal regulation enacted in the past two decades, including restrictions on banking, oil drilling, healthcare, and food and drug safety. “My bill is very simple, I just null and void any regulations passed in the last 20 years,” Young announced to a crowd at the Anchorage Downtown Rotary Club”
Now you’re talking.
This is EXACTLY what this country needs:
A true “reset” backwards for a fresh start.
It’s important that such a bill be introduced in Congress, and at least voted on in the House (even though it has no chance of passage until at least 2013).
Make them vote. Tells us where they stand.
Just sayin’...
Mr. Speaker, I arise in support of the gentleman from Alaska.
BTTT My Rep.
Guy sounds like VP material.
Bumping this wonderful story to the top!
Legislation has been proposed for the repeal of all regulations for the past 20 years!
This is precisely and exactly what America needs; this guy should be the next president!
“Please speak to Mr. Young about his plan to introduce a bill that simply repeals all Federal regulations back to 1991. I personally hope it's an idea behind which you can get. It is certainly one of the ideas we tea party types had in mind when we repopulated the House last fall. STANDARD BOILERPLATE: The next Michign Primary is in 150 days. We, who elected you, are watching.”
>> a controversial bill that would abolish every federal regulation enacted in the past two decades
Hell yeah, that’s what I’m talkin’ ‘bout...
It must be reelection time.
Strong words for something you can’t get passed and signed. Hey Don, do you still think it’s up to the courts to decide if a bill is constitutional?
Much love,
A Conservative
less regulation = greater liberty/freedom
Less regulation = fewer lawsuits, more innovation and experimentation, more entrepreneurs.
Less regulation = leass costs for applications, environmental impact analysis, costly permits and reporting, fewer bureaucrats and fewer enforcement agents. What is not to like?
Nice idea, but it would never happen, for the simple fact that an entire army of beauracrats justify their existence and maintain power by these regulations. Any attempts to kill their livelihood or those who profit from those regulations will be ran down and crushed by the system.
Repealed regulations turn the economy free...Repealed amendments turn the citizenry free...
I’d vote to repeal everything back to Thomas Jefferson.
The Alaskan however might make a better more simplistic case by passing a bill to returning the Federal legal apparatus to the status it was in say in 1998.
Hes wrong in thinking deregulation of wall-street led to the crash, it was federal interference int he market from Federal Reserve lending to Fanny and fried active interference.
Frankly Walstreet will,need to crash again so that the manipulators can lose their money.
Time for a good old system reboot. I like this idea, but would go back before the peanut farmer took office.
Bump for the gentleman from Alaska!
