Harmonizing alcohol ads: another case for industry-self regulation

Article Abstract:

Efforts to ban television broadcasts promoting hard liquors are underway as the US government stage a relentless fight against alcoholism. Trade officials have adopted a number of administrative procedures, including increased tax rates and advertising restrictions, in order to prevent minors from getting exposed to alcoholic beverages. These policies have been strongly negated by liquor companies, which prey on the fact that beer and wine manufacturers are legally allowed to air advertisements on radio and television. According to recent studies, the government need not put stringent policies on alcoholic beverage broadcast advertising due to the incompetent image reflected by the government in controlling alcohol abuse.

Abolishing OSHA

Article Abstract:

The U.S. workplace safety policy system may no longer require guidance of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in the long run. The gradual abolition of OSHA may start from the pruning of some of the agency's approaches to standard-setting, inspections and fines. The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health can carry out some of OSHA's tasks, including the development of worker exposure and activity guidelines and dissemination of its research findings.
