The Repubfican dominated House wants to cut spending by cutting funds for goverrunental agencies like the Environmental Protection Agencv that provides the nation with clean air and water. Agencies that regulate and monitor the ways companies manufacture products for the American public are in danger of losing vital funding that provides safeguards for our own health and safety.

Consolidated What are the American people saying about all this? “So many people are critical of regulation, that the government has become less vigor ous about it,” said Adam Simmons, Profes sor of U.S. and World History at FSU. It seems that the American public has contradictory views. In a Gallup poll most participants stated that the government is too involved with business, yet the majority also stated that they do not trust banks and big corporations due to distrust in ethics on how many corpora tions handle con sumers money. It is a sort of “Catch 22” situation. “The government has to do something. You can’t expect people to regulate them selves. You can’t give companies a free hand at doing whatever they want to do. Safety is permanent. The government needs to regu late,” said Professor Simmons. Johnson and Johnson is being sued by the state of Oregon for selling over-the-counter drugs with incorrect labels about how much medication should be administered. Angio- Score INC, a company that produces cath eters, had to recall thousands of cases of an gioplasty catheters in November. They were given a Class I recall rating in late January, "So many people are ^critical of regulation, that the government has beoome less vigorous about it,” Mam Sisiiwiis, 0f ani WmM SistwrygfFSII. which means that failure to recall these items could result in irreversible illnesses, infec tion or death. The American people desperately need to _ make a choice. Thqy either need to be for government regulation or against it. They both have their pros and cons. The govern ment could implement too many regula tory laws and stifle growth in the econ omy or big corpora tions could bypass safety and health guidelines to put out products quick er and cheaper for greater profit. President Obama recently announced at his speech in Washington, for the Chamber of Commerce that he is for big business and wants to see them expand, yet he also feels that the Amer ican public will benefit with some govern ment regulation. President Obama said, “Even as we work to eliminate burdensome regulations, America’s businesses have a responsibility to recogiiize that there are some safeguards and standards that are necessary to protect the American people from harm or exploita tion.” Are you fired of watching the same old programs on TV?
