This morning President Obama spoke to the US Chamber of Commerce and among other things, promised to ease the "burdensome regulations" businesses have to cope with on a daily, perhaps even on an hourly basis.
But Obama's words and actions don't mesh. Last week, the Fuel Fix blog reported that the Environmental Protection Agency solidified a rule that places dairy producers to the Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure program because "milk contains a percentage of animal fat, which is a non-petroleum oil." The spill initiative, which dates back to 1970, was designed to prevent oil leakages into lakes, rivers, and the ocean.
If you are a dairy farmer, I would call this EPA move a "burdensome regulation."
