<p>[quote user="CSSHEGEWISCH"]It's interesting to note that everybody blames the bureaucrats for over-regulation and too much red tape when the cowardice of Congress places only vague generalities in the enabling statute because the various Representatives and Senators were afraid of political repercussions. Industry is hardly blameless when their behavior generates enough of a public outcry to demand regulation of some sort. Of course, making money is the only thing that matters in life.[/quote]</p> <p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">The bureaucrats and their congressional bosses are just two parts of the same organism, and that organism has its own self-interest in simply expanding its size and power.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It creates regulations as a way to expand itself whether those regulations are needed or not.
