Thomas Sowell posted an article at Townhall.com about the Environmental Protection Agency’s decision to get involved in the issue of spilled milk.  Yes, you read that right. 

The article states:

“In a classic example of this process (any power given to any bureaucracy for any purpose can be stretched far beyond that purpose), the EPA has decided that, since milk contains oil, it has the authority to force farmers to comply with new regulations to file “emergency management” plans to show how they will cope with spilled milk, how farmers will train “first responders” and build “containment facilities” if there is a flood of spilled milk.”

Why not just call in the local alley cats to lap it up?  I apologize.  I am not taking this seriously.  As part of this new initiative, the EPA will be hiring people to inspect farmers’ reports and prosecute farmers who do not fully comply with the new regulations.  Thus, more money will be taken from the taxpayers and given to the government. 

President Obama recently stated that he was planning to explore the possibility of reducing burdensome regulations.  I think I have a suggestion as to where he might start!
