Read Charles Murray’s “By the People”
[One of the mysteries of American government over the last half-century is why Congress has acceded so much lawmaking authority to what is now the fourth branch of government: federal agencies and interest groups.]
No mystery at all. Congress is simply interested in making money and getting re-elected.
Regulations, illegal immigration, Obamacare, and SCOTUS should be President Trumps top priorities.
“This is a gigantic tax on the American economy — almost like a second income tax — sapping us of strength.”
In my opinion regulations are far WORSE than a second income tax. They require businesses to spend huge sums to comply with regulations that accomplish nothing other than to increase costs. At least a second income tax would possibly raise some money that could be used to accomplish some minor benefit.
The excuse from Congress is that there are so many rules and regulations that the House and Senate can’t possibly approve every one of them.
We need an Amnesty Amendment:
All Laws, Statutes, Rules and Regulations not read in to the Public Record on the Floor of the Senate and House of Representatives by it’s Author or Sponsor, and Voted on and duly passed into law by a Majority Vote and Signed into Law by the President shall be VOID!
The solution is a law that requires congressional approval before a regulation takes place.
That will ensure nothing at all gets done. Which is not always a bad thing.
HELLO!

Bring back primatine mist!
