The Chevron deference needs to be applied to every damn illegal law both parties have forced on us over the years and all state governors need to repledge to the federal system.
Laws are made by Congress, not pen pushers on easy street.
If California and New York prefer a Confederacy they need to own up to the fact.
This is why originally Congress only met part time. What do expect if a politician is sitting at his desk in DC, who is gonna knock? Companies should not be allowed to lobby Congress.
Hate to be a bugbear, but one rule (of thumb) that isn’t so bad is, “Citations with every graph, please”. Where does the information come from? It shouldn’t be anecdotal.
Agree. It is also misleading to put the cost in dollars for each country because exchange rates vary and the cost of regulation would also vary with the cost of manufacturing, local wages and benefits, etc. Very, very difficult to compare countries side-by-side in this manner. To do it right would require a great deal of hard work which would make the costs of just information prohibitive.
I’m surprised we haven’t run across each other yet. A number of your Heritage Foundation colleagues have been thoughtful, kind and helpful to The Second Bill of Rights project the past few months. I love your bar chart here. Article the Fifth of the SBOR deals with the CFR once and for good. Feel free to private message me and I can always provide you with early access to more information and insights. Only 11 more months to go! Steven
Has anyone audited all those claims about regulations? Those wishing to ditch regulations are always going to shoot to the high side. $94,000 for a new house? Absurd. I guess they would prefer Bob the carpenter to install the electricity and plumbing in the house. Why require a licensed electrician or plumber? Why require any inspections? Trust the Big Builders. Would they cut corners if those regulations were gone? They cut every legal corner now and one can only imagine what they'd do if they had their way.
"Regulations drive up meat costs by a third. Milk by a fifth." We need more regulation on meat, not less. Stop the pumping of hormones into cattle to make them grow abnormally fast. Allow raw milk to be sold nationally. I don't know many who want food regulations tossed in the bin. The food industry virtually owns the FDA as it is.
As for lemonade stands, the only ones giving the kids a hassle are local code enforcement types, not federal OSHA officers.
Unsure why you call the regulations illegal as Congress gave those agencies the authority to issue regulations.
It may be different in your state, but if I want to add a $10,000 carport to my house, regulations require me to install a fire hydrant ($95,000), widen my driveway ($123,000) and pay a regulatory fee. Well, a little sun damage on my car is a lot cheaper to fix.
As you mention, these are for your state. These are not federal regulations, which are the only ones addressed by this article. So removal of federal regulations still doesn't do away with regulations as state and local ones remain, no matter how bizarre. We might have to pay increased property taxes on the widened driveway, but that's about it in my state. Same with the carport.
RedBaron, the examples you cited are the domain of the consumer. Noatter the regulations on home building, people pay out of pocket for home inspection at each stage, why have the gov redundancy? Food? People should be free to eat garbage, smoke cigs, and drink. Those that don't shouldn't have to sneak to the local dairy farmer for raw milk so he doesn't get swat'd. People still drink fluoride and take vaccines filled with mercury, all with gov blessing. People think eliminating big gov leads to madmax because it's all they've ever known - in reality big gov IS madmax
I am quite excited at the prospects of this. we shall see if it is implemented, even in part, but if so, it will have a substantially positive impact on the economy
You've got two hopes of that happening. Bob Hope and no hope.
The military industrial complex will kill us all before they cut 1 cent from their budget.
That is their modus operandi.
And Hope Lange--uishing.

Unbelievable statistics!!! Every citizen should digest those numbers. Wow just wow.
High hopes, low expectations.

Great piece - thank you - I haven't seen this reported elsewhere.
I was hoping that when Elon left he had set up a system to continue the reform work, and this sounds like he did just that.
Now if we could just reform the IRS and their thousands of barely decipherable rules.
Wow!!!
