Rand Paul blocked a chemical security program because, supposedly, he (a) thought it blocked new entrants to the industry, and confusingly (b) because he said companies would comply voluntarily anyway.

@AlliFlowers That almost goes without saying...

But I'm wondering if this is an ideological position (anti-reg), a financially motivated position, or just general idiocy.

Anyhow, always find it amusing when politicians give nonsensical or self-contradictory justification for their shenanigans.

@BeneCal I’m going with general idiocy. The other options require thought. ;)
