The bureaucrats at EPA, which has a $9 billion budget and employees 17,000 government workers had determined that cows milk was bad for the environment and could taint the earth.
Even though cows milk is 90% water, the EPA determined that it was essentially an oil and subject to regulations that control toxic spills. Fortunately the lobbyists from the dairy and small business were able to convince the agency to reconsider. This foolishness could have cost the economy more than $1.4 billion per year.
When you have 17,000 workers that are trying to justify their jobs we get these crazy rules. It seems that the government is trying to regulate every iota of our lives and there is danger everywhere.
