Regulation that isn't helping

I have always believed that government regulation can be helpful in driving forward change that otherwise would not happen. But I also think that when government becomes too prescriptive in their approach, it stunts innovation and causes unforeseen problems that often hurt the very groups they are trying to help. Case in point, the new regulations proposed by the USDA, which could effectively put most organic livestock family farmers out of business. Let's just hope that this doesn't pass as is.
