The Trump administration is rejecting appeals to slow its deregulatory drive while Americans grapple with the coronavirus, pushing major public health and environmental rollbacks closer to enactment in recent days despite the pandemic.

As Americans stockpiled food and medicine and retreated indoors and businesses shuttered in hopes of riding out COVID-19, federal agencies in recent days moved forward on rollbacks that included a widely opposed deregulatory action by the Environmental Protection Agency.

The proposed rule would require disclosure of the raw data behind any scientific study used in the rulemaking process. That includes confidential medical records that opponents say could be used to identify people. […]

President Donald Trump and his agency chiefs have less than 10 months left in his current term to complete the administration’s business-friendly easing of the way the federal government enforces scores of environment and public health protections.

The Interior Department, for example, is moving ahead with a measure that would greatly ease protections under the more than century-old Migratory Bird Treaty Act. …

One tenth would be vastly better but still too large. Remember, government exists to CREATE problems NOT to solve problems so it will always grow far larger than it needs to be. Have you ever tried to list all the government functions which offer a net positive benefit to the governed? I don’t mean just in theory, I mean an ACTUAL net positive result.

My view of most government action is that a law is passed to solve a mostly or completely imaginary problem and the resulting government action THEN CREATES the problem which it supposedly solves, the problem is then set in stone, never to be resolved, while the agency devoted to it grows ever larger and larger.
