OSHA, EPA, EEOC, FTA, DOT, NTSB, DOE, IRS, SEC, and I am just starting.

Preach it, FRiend.

There are a couple of posters who haunt these threads who just love all those nanny state agencies.

They loooove them so very very much that they want the USA to put up big tariffs to protect us from all those evil foreign counties who aren't lucky enough to have caring, meticulous, ever-watchful government bureacracies such as those we are blessed with here in the good old USA.

I am surprised none of them have shown up here yet.

Sitting on the world’s largest deposits of carbon energy, abundant freshwater, mostly great climate zones, huge deposits of minerals, two oceans, and surrounded by two friendly countries.

And we need protection from foreign manufacturer’s?

Glad to hear from someone who values freedom.

That's a good point.

In effect, a policy of massive tariffs on imports is nothing more than a subsidy for all of those nanny-state agencies.
