The lefties always trot out the "but I like clean water" response. But there are millions of regulations that most of us never hear about and a huge number of them just preserve the status quo, reinforce the power of government and prevent new small competitors from entering a market. They also restrict freedom and increase our cost of living.
This is just one example of how ridiculous many of these regulations are;

"They want us to pay for our own raisins that we grew," says Raisin Valley Farms owner Marvin Horne. "We have to buy them back!"
Rightwingers love to trot out stupid government programs gone wrong and blame it on "lefties," yet appear to eagerly provide just as many bone-headed rules that waste money and become totally abused. Please give credit where credit is due, especially when it comes to agriculture in the US.
Years ago I knew a guy that claimed the Federal Government paid him NOT to grow crops on a section of land he said he may grow on but never really had any plans to do so.
Some regulations are good and very necessary.....other are dumb and overreach.
I think an example of good and very necessary Fedgov regulation/policy is the implementation of tougher and tougher emission standards on vehicles. I would even push it farther.....Fedgov makes MANDATORY yearly emissions testing for ALL motor vehicles.......one 30 day waiver, if you don't pass, then you are OFF the road. These huge trucks and older vehicles that spew filth.....well, the auto manufacturers would HAVE to clean up the truck....the older vehicles, no matter the age, would HAVE to pass.
Let's see......the dumb/overstep regulations?????? Well, I think the extreme protections that even non-endangered species gets to the detriment of commercial and residential land owners.......that is dumdumdum!

Do these farmers whine and cry when cashing their subsidy government welfare check?
Actually, one guy from the article wanted to give the money back. It's a tiny portion of the federal budget, which is probably why it gets overlooked, but farms have been doing well. I agree with RoadKing. The program should be scrapped.
