The elastic clause is being stretched beyond the comprehension of even FDR. Some day it may snap.

In the mean while we lose more of our liberties.

Free people are not equal and equal people are not free.

[...] Regulators expand their regulatory reach and enforcement to address a perceived need — the need as perceived by the regulators (or the “consumer activists” or trial lawyers, who are often just regulators-in-waiting.) Did any of the lawmakers who voted for the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act think the Consumer Product Safety Commission would launch a “Resale Roundup” enforcement regime targeting yard sales? But that’s what happened. [...]

For years now,cities and states continue to ignore federal law concerning immigration by declaring themselves "illegal immigrate free(friendly) zones"…sounds like a good plan.

Maybe, we should do this for yard sales, toilet paper, and medical care; even "cap and trade" tax to keep the feds out of our business. What about it states, county, and city elected officials.

Hey Fellow Americans:

If you think it can't get any worse, get ready for Big O to appoint his next Czar after "The Garage Sale Czar". . . "The Toilet Paper Czar." You know, once we get all those hoarding garage sellers under control, we will have to find a way to drastically reduce the waste of trees "going down the drain." And the list will go on getting more and more ridiculous until FINALLY we stand up and quit paying our taxes.

If they have NO MONEY and they can't print any more, they won't stay long because who is going to make their $175,000 a year salary good with a GUARANTEED 5% increase EVERY single year plus all those cushy benefits . . . and they only work about 185 days a year!!! After all, most of these folks never did an honest day's work in their live. They were born with a silver spoon in their mouth and learned at an early age how to suck the life blood out of others!!! When the host dies, the blood sucker either moves on or dies, too!

I don't know about any of you but I am really tired of working my buns off six days week in order to send my tax money to Washington, and then watch them waste my tax dollars AND yours! Not only that, enough is NEVER enough so maybe we should just quit paying and see how that works since nothing else has helped to date.

I say, DON'T PAY!!!!!!

Wake up people this was signed into law by President Bush in August of 2008.

From the CPSC handbook:

On August 14, 2008, the President signed the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA) into law. This Handbook for Resale Stores and Product Resellers was created by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to help sellers of used products understand the new law and existing regulations.

Darn those Republicans.

I suspect stimulus money will be spent at an accelerated rate as the Nov 2010 election approaches, so that the demo's can pander for your vote. Problem is, what about the financial hell they are intentionally putting us through now for their own selfish gains in 2010.

Liberal Fascism is real. It is this and a thousand other things. Truly, the government has ruined my life! More than anything else. And most often it was Liberal Fascism! Smarmy do-gooder solutions from Democratic idiots, all nice and back stopped by Republicans who hummed and looked the other way.
