To Deregulate America, Dump D.C. Bureaucrats
Flanked by a towering 185,000 pages representing the federal regulatory code now and
a short pile of 20,000 pages — the code’s length a half-century ago —
President Trump pledged last week to return us to the days of fewer
regulations. Pointing to the colossal pile, which would take some three
years to even read, the president reiterated what Americans know first
hand, that “every unnecessary page” means that “projects never get off
the ground.”
Trump claims he’s already eliminated 22 rules for every new one imposed this past year.
His critics dispute how many he’s actually scrapped, but no one denies
he’s brought the steady stream of new rules nearly to a halt. This
regulatory pause is buoying business optimism and the stock market.What’s coming next? Rolling back rules on mining, manufacturing, oil exploration, banking, you name it. Even better, both the Trump administration and some Democrats in Congress want to relocate federal agencies from inside the D.C. beltway to cities in the nation’s heartland. Getting Washington out of Washington.
Imagine regulators having to rub elbows with the people being regulated.
