Pemise List
GC: The effort of the EPA to regulate milk spillage is unjustified. 1
- P1: Milk producer don't pose the environmental hazard that oil spills do.
- P2: It isn't worth the money it will cost to regulate.
2
- P1: The taxes needed to pay for the regulations will prevent private sector job creation.
3
- P1/IC: This is an example of a beaurocracies' natural tendency to seek power without justification.
- P1: EEOC and FCC did.
4
- P1/IC: Regulatory agencies justify their regulatory actions by the wrong standards.
- P1: Beaurocrats believe that if a regulation does any good it is justified no matter the cost.
- P2/IC: But this is at odds with rational decision making about scarce resources, which require comparisons and priorities.
(Note on "examples" vs. "arguments" -- Is Sowell's encyclopedia example part of the argument?)
