Regulation Nation: Obama rule-making seen as deeply flawed

  • September 3, 2013
  • The Progressive Policy Institute

The Hill quotes PPI’s Diana G. Carew in a recent piece on federal regulation and cites PPI’s Regulatory Improvement Commission proposal being championed by Sen. Angus King.

Democrats, unions and public interest groups, meanwhile, say agencies are already hamstrung by existing restrictions on their authority, and argue that open-ended White House reviews have led to a pattern of delays in important protections.

“It’s definitely the way you approach the issue,” said Diana Carew, an economist at the Progressive Policy Institute, which aligns itself with pro-business New Democrats.

“So what’s basically happened is that nothing’s happened, and now we see this massive buildup of regulation over time, and it is actually causing a hindrance on business and business growth, and for small businesses.”
