Just yesterday I posted a note regarding this craziness.
Under heavy pressure from farm groups, the Obama administration is dropping an effort to prevent children from doing hazardous work on farms owned by anyone other than their parents.The Labor Department says it is withdrawing proposed rules that would ban children younger than 16 from using most power-driven equipment. The rules also would prevent those younger than 18 from working in feed lots, grain bins and stockyards.
This is an incredible story on so many levels.
Wow.
(A number of folks sent in comments that I did not post suggesting that I was making too much out of this story. Hmmm. The comments most likely came from technocrats working for the Department of Labor. The fact that the president himself got involved, suggested this is a bigger story than some realized.)
