By reaching across the aisle and letting Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.) write the No Child Left Behind in 2001, propping up the U.S. steel industry with tariffs in 2002, and dishing out [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s politicians from all over the country &#8211; elected to serve small towns, big cities and the United States &#8211; who have bought into the FDR New Deal philosophy of government hook, line and sinker.

You see, some kids are experiencing negative health issues due to boys using Axe body spray; instead of regular showers it seems. This is the nanny state in action.
