We Need To Put Our Regulators On A Diet

The late Nobel Laureate Milton Friedman once said, “Given our monstrous, overgrown government structure, any three letters chosen at random would probably designate an agency or part of a department that could be profitably abolished.”

Friedman’s comment in mind, in this column we’re going to discuss nutrition from a regulatory perspective. No, this isn’t me advocating Michelle Obama‘s Nutritional Nanny State; although, much can be gleaned from obesity as the primary dietary problem plaguing our “under-privileged.” Our poor eat plenty of cake and this Marie Antoinette would like it to stop.

Gluttonous do-gooder statism spawned the electoral avalanche last November. Make no mistake, much good was achieved, but elections do little to stem the economically debilitating interference of government bureaucracy.

Government can do little to benefit the economy.
