Milk Cartel Challanged by Small Raw Dairy

Tom and Nadir: Surely you guys support me on this issue. A Republican congressman has introduced a bill that increased dairy regulation. This of course is a violation of official republican promotion of smaller government. Here we have a government-established dairy cartel, and republican officials helping it to prevent consumers from having more market choice. Tom, as a fellow food snob (and Nadir, as a near-snob), you will be especially interested to learn that the dairy maverick here produces beloved raw milk. I am especially upset at yet another example of republicans violating their supposed advocacy of free markets and small govt. But of course we can be sure that plenty of demos will support this anti-market, big govt bill.

Republicans do not advocate small government. That is a myth. They advocate taxation when it benefits them. They advocate large government when it benefits them. They only advocate cutting spending for social or economic programs that would help the less fortunate.

I'm afraid that I agree with most of what you say. The Republicans are disgraceful on this point.
