Toilet paper scammers flushed out

The lesson here is that the Gov't has so many regulations, that people will not doubt that one day they will require special toilet paper and EPA mandated anti-sludge treatments.

Try and buy a 100 watt light-bulb on January 1. Yep, another Gov't regulation.

It's so sad that the land of the free is now land of more laws than will fit in a wall sized law office bookshelf. And that doesn't include even more numerous regulations.

I would just like the US Gov't to issue each citizen a copy of all the rules, laws and regulations that we must follow. (Remember, they claim that your ignorance of a law is no defense).

Oh, wait - they would have to cut down every tree on the planet to make the paper to print it all.

The US was formed as a Constitutionally LIMITED Gov't.  No wonder our country is going down - Gov't is sucking everything in (our freedoms, our money) like a black hole.

Just a comment about Ryan.

 I like the government. The schools, roads, our soldiers, police, firemen, teachers, social security, medicare, the courts, the people who keep the food safe, the water safe, maintain the sewers, provide the water, regulate the businesses, keep me safe from robber barons, sweat shops, child labor, and con men. I am grateful for the taxpayers who are willing to contribute to all these things and are not ready to throw out the entire country out just because there are a few flaws. I am grateful for all the people in this country who are grateful and willing to work to make it better even if it is hard. I am grateful for those who want to be part of the solution. As for you Ryan if you don't like it here go somewhere else where there is no government, like Somalia and you can enjoy the freedoms you want.

How nice for you that your grandparents were able to keep their minds sharp until the end.  Not all elderly are so blessed.  I know an elderly man who is slipping into dementia but is refusing help from anyone.  He has fallen for a phone scam and lost $500.  To keep him from losing more money to these jerks who would not stop calling, his wife had to change their phone number.  Now someone is calling him from Spain asking for more money and promising to send him a million dollar check.  For you to imply that elderly people who fall for such things have failed in their responsibility to "not be ignorant" shows your own ignorance. 

Maybe you should spend more time educating yourself and less time making snarky comments about others.  Your comment was rude and mean-spirited.  Didn't your grandparents teach you that if you have nothing nice to say, you shouldn't say anything at all? 

"Those who ordered were put on an "idiot" list"

Classic.

Jerry Edwards - Police, Fire, Military, Roads, Justice - All legitimate Gov't endevours.

And so how much of the total Gov't budget do you think those are?

3/4, 2/3, 1/2?

Nope. Entitlements are 2/3 of Federal Spending.

So all the things everyone agrees Gov't should do is only 1/3 of their budget.

Federal Spending doubled since 2001. The top 5 Federal revenue years of all time (adjusted for inflation) happened in the last 6 years.

And yet they are going to bankrupt this country. Check out usdebtclock.org you will see how massive the problem is.

Every minute jobs go overseas where there are less regulations. Just look at Europe. Massive Gov't, massive regulations, huge taxes - and they are circling the toilet, ready to go down.

Face it, people like you have destroyed our countries future. You see any limitation on Gov't as the problem - but is Gov't twice as good in the last ten years? It's twice as large.

Gov't does not have the consent of the taxpayers. 2/3 of it's activity is in direct conflict with the idea that no other person is entitled to the labors of another man's back. That ended with slavery. Except for the liberal/progressive/​communist/democrat/s​ocialists. Look how well all the nanny state Gov't you love worked out in Cuba. Or USSR. Or North Korea.

It's time we remember that private industry run by the people made this country great, not the Gov't.

Loved your rant.  So glad you support the fluorescent 'death bulbs'.  you know, those things that cause pollutants to be released during manufacture AND contain so much crap like mercury, etc., that you literally will be required by law (EPA regs. see the irony yet?) to call a haz-mat team to clean your floor if you drop one and it breaks.  And when the crap seeps into the groundwater, It is literally eternal and will cause it to be undrinkable forever.

I just love you 'superior' people (read 'lib-tards') that are so narrow minded that you not only don't look at both sides of an issue, you don't even look at the totality of your side.  Scary part is you not only vote, you reproduce too.
