Daren Bakst has explained for us why North Carolina would benefit from regulatory reform.
His research came to mind when I read the following blurb from the latest National Review:
Pres. Barack Obama, whose signature achievement in office has been dropping a 1,000-page package of regulations onto the American health-care market, has now decided that there are too many federal regulations, and, with an eye on job growth, has ordered regulators to study the problem. There is a kind of genius at work in that: The regulators already are regulated under regulations derived from the Regulatory Flexibility Act, which requires that regulators, before regulating, study a proposed regulation?s impact on small business. To that regulator-regulating regulation, President Obama has added an additional regulation, stipulating that regulators ?reduce regulatory burdens on small business.? What obviously is needed here are additional regulators to regulate the enforcement of the regulator-regulating regulations, which is to say, regulator-regulating-regulation-regulator regulators. Who says Obama doesn?t know how to create jobs?
