RE: Regulation passed the House

Top_Gunn, you're dead right! Regulatory agencies consist of unelected people who serve plenty of congressmen. They feel like THEY are the permanent government and everything would fall apart if it...

RE: Regulation passed the House

@sport and @kid using the definition of a word in one law to define the same word in another law is fallacious. No law is defined by another law that is not connected explicitly with the law being...

RE: Regulation passed the House
