No to more money, more people, more power?

That's Nancy Nord, acting chair of the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The Senate is proposing to increase the budget of the CPSC, add to its staff (which is half of what it was twenty years ago), give it more power to prosecute executives who violate the law. And Nancy says no, don't pass this law.

I guess Nancy is really not a bureaucrat at heart. She knows that one guy can test all the toys sold in this country and fifteen inspectors are all that the agency needs.

Think of all the money she is saving us. Who cares if we use unsafe products?

All corporations do the right thing all the time. The less money we spend policing them, the more money we can spend on prisons for the peasants.
