Regulated times spark talk of freedom and growth
A heated speech rails against regulation as Senator Moses and others warn that the United States risks becoming a land of controls. He cites a $1,000,000 appropriation and a $430,000 expenditure while criticizing policies that supposedly burden farmers, mothers, and small businesses in Cedar Rapids and New York fund schemes.
