Here’s a perfect example of why the United States should have as few government workers/bureaucrats as possible.  Freep.com has a story called “Are cosmic rays really causing Toyota’s woes?”  The story says, “It may sound far-fetched, but federal regulators are studying whether sudden acceleration in Toyotas is linked to cosmic rays.”  If cosmic rays are not the cause of the problem, the brain trust should investigate if Toyota’s sudden acceleration problem is caused by cooties.
