Yup Libertarians are Anarchist for the wealthy.
Federal regulations costing US $1.9T annually

Because in you case one has little to do with the other. Even in the smallest townships their are people capable of making sure their small paved roads are built to a standard that standard is a regulation. Why do so many regressive grovel at the feet of big business, Of course business wants no regulations, then they are not liable while they are killing us off for their bottom line. you people amaze me. It would cost way more not having regulations for the people for a direct saving to the business, corporations would eat your children for their bottom line if there wasn't any regulations.

How did those regulations do preventing food poisoning at Chipotle? Anyone? Anyone?
Why do you want the government to control your actions and tell you what to do?

It's hilarious that cons say they don't want the government to do anything but are voting for Trump in droves.
My children always wore helmets and I always wear my seatbelt.

I think conservatives should refuse to wear seatbelts, smoke like chimneys, and eat raw uninspected foods to show that regulations are unnecessary and burdensome.
Could you give me an example of what you think is over regulated. I hear people make these statements but never show what is over regulated.

Surely the Competitive Enterprise Institute, a libertarian public-policy group, wouldn't exaggerate the cost of government regulation to grab some headlines....
Do you believe people should be required by law to wear seat belts?
You want them to tell you what to do because you're too fucking stupid and lazy to do for yourself.
Do you think it's the government's place to tell someone they should have to wear a seatbelt? Motorcycle helmet under a certain age?
post 34 and 41...48 I give a more thematic response...
But there are so many regs...some are more egregious then others, some are sound and needed..
Look at the totall weight of reg's cost (the OP) greater then total income tax.
Then there is the interpretations -ever widening fed'l powers..
you know what US federalism is? ( commonly if erroneously called "states rights") - do you think that Constitutional construct has merit?
Don't be shocked if Rana says "states' rights" is code for racism.
another one...tobacco is now under the FDA..why is this needed? after all these years?
history: Regulation of tobacco by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulation_of_tobacco_by_the_U.S._Food_and_Drug_Administration
Prior to 1996, the FDA played no role in the regulation of tobacco products, and regulations were controlled through a combination of state and congressional regulation
In 1996, the FDA issued the "FDA Rule," which asserted its authority over tobacco products and issued a rule intending to prevent and reduce tobacco use by children. The intended regulations included prohibiting non-face-to-face sales of tobacco products, prohibiting outdoor advertising of tobacco products near schools or playgrounds, imposing more stringent advertising regulations, and prohibiting brand name sponsorships, among other things.
After the regulations were issued in 1996, tobacco companies sued. In the 2000 Supreme Court case FDA v. Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corp., the court ruled that Congress had not given the FDA authority over tobacco and tobacco marketing.
As a result, Congress was forced to provide explicit FDA authority to regulate tobacco and this was finally accomplished via the passage of the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act in 2009.

One this one the FDA overstepped, but then Congress did give authority..
today THE FDA goes after Ecigs to minors..

Making things illegal doesn't mean there is less use. Look at pain pills. there is a war on pain management, and what is happening?
Heroin and fentanyl are rising quickly, and at the same time legitimate prescriptions for hydrocodone are now Schedule II ( no refills)
he same as oxycodone!!
Gov't is inherently over-reactive, to the point it makes people lives miserable, or has bad unintended consequenses

maybe it's NOT a good idea to go after Ecigs since minors were reducing deaths?
