This is a copy and paste of the headlines on one site I got on.

"The U.S. Attorney's Office in the Central District of Illinois conducted the raid in concert with three other federal agencies: The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation office of inspector general, the Internal Revenue Service criminal investigation division and the Department of Commerce office of export enforcement."

Well Cat sure wasn't popular after it bought then closed the EMD plant at London, Ont a few years ago. Of course that shut down was all above board.

If anybody thinks a large corporation is gonna get in any trouble with the current climate,guess again. Grease a few palms and it'll all go away.

Last time I was in Peoria there was a huge Komatsu billboard on the road just as you leave the airport. Maybe it's still there.

Please name specifically the first 20 of the "zillion" (be very specific) that you would repeal and why it would be of benefit and to who.

Absolutely right.

Maybe this was a leftover planned raid from the previous administration for not having enough he/she/it restrooms!

They look pretty common sense to me. If it is common industry practice why is it onerous? Which ones are causing your company to lose money and inflate the price of ladders to the consumer? I don't see why this is causing a financial hardship. So what am I missing?

An old lady friend of the family just fell down her basement steps. When her husband built the house 60 years ago
he built the steps all different risers (scrap lumber). Well it finally caused a near fatal accident. New house construction code in my areas says step risers should be consistent. It is a regulation...just common sense, for people without any.

What your missing is "common sense", that some people don't have.
