RSS20 Most Unnecessary and Harmful Regulations
The Heritage Foundation | January 28, 2011
“To reduce barriers to growth and investment, I’ve ordered a review of government regulations,” President Obama said in yesterday’s State of the Union address, “When we find rules that put an unnecessary burden on businesses, we will fix them.”
We at The Heritage Foundation couldn’t agree more. Today our experts released a report on the 20 most unnecessary and harmful regulations, plus recommended solutions.
While we support President Obama’s assertion that the burden of regulations is too great, some of his arguments went too far: “I will not hesitate to create or enforce commonsense safeguards to protect the American people… It’s why we passed reform that finally prevents the health insurance industry from exploiting patients.”
In fact, the very first regulation Heritage proposes cutting is Obamacare’s individual mandate—along with the rest of the bill.
Find out the other 19 ways that the federal government can help reduce the burden of regulations.
