I love the old phrase: "We have the answer. Now what was the question again?"

It's the corollary to "For a man with a hammer, every problem is a nail."

Re my post yesterday, I still cannot understand why a jelly shop needs to be licensed and regulated. Haven't farmers been selling jams, jellies, and pies to happy customers for hundreds of years?

Lengthy and complex regulations are employment schemes for government employees and lawyers as much as anything else. Forget state regs -there are 86,000 pages in the Fed Register. Nobody knows what is in there, but it you violate one of them, you can be screwed.

Here's the right way to do regulatory relief.
