CEI: "Ten Thousand Commandments": The Hidden Cost Of The Regulatory State

Trump gets a qualified shout-out:

The 2019 report charts new territory as it updates the progress made as a result of President Trump’s efforts to cut red tape via executive order, the most aggressive effort at regulatory reform in over a quarter century. The report also includes a new section cataloguing President Trump’s regulatory impulses on issues ranging from antitrust to tech and telecom to food and drug matters, and more. While President Trump has slowed the momentum of the Obama years and implemented policies to incentivize further restraint, his own impulses and the long term agenda of the government’s executive agencies could easily stray back toward bureaucratic overreach without permanent reform by Congress.
