Regulators steal fisherman of his 900-pound catch -
Republican presidential hopeful Ron Paul has made it a campaign promise to nix regulations such as these, saying earlier this year that he has an economic plan that would save America $1 trillion in its first year alone by slashing regulations, a focal point of libertarianism that is widely held by other lawmakers aligned to the philosophy.
Rand Paul, son of the GOP candidate, told a congressional committee earlier this year that "Every regulation doesn't save lives," and also agrees that they are often more burdensome than beneficial. After the snag that regulators have put in Rafael’s line, he most likely feels the same way. “It was a beautiful fish,” adds Rafael.
