comment_details: AMS-2006-0079-0006

Full comment text and metadata for a subset of Regulations.gov comments, from the regulations.gov API channel. Includes submitter type and organization. Includes attachment counts and links; the attachment files themselves are not included. Where the served build also carries the bulk-export merge (build_metadata.bulk_merge), most comments have text in comment_texts (reached through comment_bodies.body_sha256); DataDawn serves the API text where it exists, else the bulk text, and labels which. Withdrawn comments carry no text in either table by policy (decisions_log §128). ⚠ PARTICIPATION: where an agency folded a mass-comment campaign into a single record carrying an asserted count (comment_details.duplicate_comments), the same campaign usually also appears as thousands of individual records — measured 2026-08-30 across the regulations.gov bulk exports, 94.1% of dockets with a folded campaign also hold an unfolded one. Neither the record count nor the asserted count is the number of people who commented, and the two must never be summed. https://datadawn.org/methodology.html#participation

AMS-2006-0079-0006 To Whom It May Concern:<br/><br/>The size of government and the onerous nature of the regulations that you have <br/>put on the American people need to stop. Why do you continue to subsidize <br/>farming and other industries? These actions only hurt the American people as a <br/>whole are are unconstitutional in the sense that they both benefit a small section <br/>of the population, not the general population, and they treat us unequally. It is no <br/>coincidence that our economy is growing at such a sluggish rate due to the <br/>regulations and legislation that get in the way of a free market. History has taught <br/>us that central planning of any sort always ends up in the dustbin of history, <br/>whereas voluntary cooperation of the market always produces a higher standard of <br/>living than your central planning would ever do. I can&#39;t believe that in a country <br/>that supposedly stands for individual freedom, that we have gotten so far off the <br/>track by talking about marketing of onions as a government role. This is <br/>ridiculous and pathetic. Can you please tell me where you get the authority to do <br/>this? As I read the Declaration of Independence, I note the following lines &quot;He has <br/>erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass <br/>our people, and eat out of their substance.&quot; It would appear that we, as an <br/>American government and nation, are once again on the path to tyranny and these <br/>kinds of regulations are a symptom of that. I know that you folks think you are <br/>doing good, but the only ones you are serving are the bureaucrats and those <br/>power mongerers. Please get rid of these regulations for the sake of freedom.<br/><br/>Regards,<br/><br/>Todd Benson<br/>     Todd Benson Honolulu HI   United States     8027b6b0 0 AMS-2006-0079-0004 2007-08-28T07:48:46Z       0 0
