Obama wants to ban child farm labor

This is just another indication of Obama reaching into the private home and running our lives. This man is a horrible president, and is either a complete ignoramus, or has no clue about the value of learning to work hard, or is just plain evil. This is just another attack on the family and the right of parents to raise their own children. IMO.

If Obama's goal is the destruction of America, he's doing a bang-up job.

Clearly the man has no respect for child labor. The end of it would most certainly spell the end of America!

OC I have to agree with you

I thought the same thing when I first read the headline. Then I thought "daily caller" then I also looked at what was being banned, basically no kids in grain elevators or on the slaughter floor. That seems like common sense to me. There were other things that sounded just loopy though. For instance instead of having 4h and ffa safety courses they want to replace some of that with 60 day government run safety programs. Like we have the dollars for that sort of thing?

Somehow this must be another payback to Big Unions.

Can those of you who object to this point out what specifically you find objectionable in the proposal? It seems reasonable to me. Plus, the news release specifically says "The proposed regulations would not apply to children working on farms owned by their parents."

So, it's not reaching into the private home, after all.

Exactly, becuase America is so much worse off now than in late 2008 right?

Oh those poor, subsidy-infested farmers!

YET, perhaps. What Government Program have you ever seen that has SHRUNK or become LESS powerful and LESS expensive?

Well by that logic, this is the expansion of child labor laws in general -- a prime example of government intrusion which goes a long way back before Obama.

You should've seen this coming ever since we took 'em out of the coal mines.

Hey! Something else OC and I can agree on! I think we're doing pretty good!

No.... this is taking something that was necessary and blowing it WAY out of proportion.

Are you TRYING to be dense?

And, just out of curiosity, did you grow up on a farm or ranch?

Play the Twilight Zone theme, because that makes THREE of us.
