#trump #OIRA #redtape #OneInTwoOut "The first substantive question Ms. Rao faced during a Senate confirmation hearing last month struck at a hot topic on Capitol Hill: How did she view an order by Mr. Trump to eliminate two regulations for every new one, and how should it be carried out? As she answered, Ms. Rao measured her words, calling the policy “an important step” in broadly reducing regulatory burden. “It can work,” she said. “The way I think it will work in practice is that agencies will identify regulations to eliminate.

Since Mr Trump’s inauguration, the flow of new rules has slowed by about 60%. Is this an achievement to be proud of? The number of rules is a crude gauge of the burden of red tape. But it belies a much deeper shift in regulatory philosophy. The Trump administration claims that it will no longer use regulations as a substitute for legislation; that the effects of new rules will be more rigorously assessed; and that the burden on business will be reduced. https://www.economist.com/news/leaders/21730148-donald-trumps-regulatory-policy-strange-mix-thoughtful-and-dangerous-how-judge-whether?
