No regulatory bodies? Free market ya-hoo?
While mine safety has improved over the years, mining accidents have claimed five lives in Kentucky this year alone five too many. Rand Paul has callously said, in regard to tragedies like this, that ‘sometimes accidents happen,’ and he advocates eliminating mine safety regulations as well as other workplace safety regulations. Too many lives have been lost for us to allow Rand Paul to erase safety rules. We must continue to be vigilant by enforcing strong safety rules, implementing new technology, and requiring safety training.
