If you lump every possible federal law into one category and call it regulation then I can't possibly defend them.
OK. Let's talk about OSHA specifically. You said Bush had cut their budget.

2001 $426B
osha.gov

2003 $437B
osha-slc.gov
WHAT budget cut????

You also said this:
I have an old truck (1950). I am now amazed that something with that many protruding knobs and steel levers with no seat belts was ever produced. I am very protective of the truck as I drive, but I also think what it would be like to hit that big steering wheel post at 40mpg, versus what it would be like to hit the airbag in my car.
YOu are aware, I presume, that airbags are computerized. And that in 1950 computers took up entire large rooms.
How do you propose to fit that inside a Ford truck? And who could have afforded it?
