Abstract:
Regulation is a hidden tax that imposes a burden almost as heavy as income taxes. It also can hinder innovation and harm health and safety. President Bush has done better than many of his predecessors in limiting new regulations, but less to eliminate unneeded rules. The Administration should act to ensure that the growth of the regulatory burden is not just slowed, but reversed.
