"Increased penalties for anyone caught producing meth should be done, rather than developing elaborate regulations," Foxx said. She is a member of the House subcommittee that has been investigating various solutions to the issues.
"I see strong punishment as the best deterrent to crime," she said, adding that she thinks that states should be able to decide on laws regulating the purchase of pseudoephedrine and other meth ingredients....
