Regulation & Deregulation
Government by Waiver

We have done a poor job of preserving the balance between limiting the discretion of Government officials so that they do not undermine the rule of law, while also allowing them enough leeway to perform their roles. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act make the imbalance far worse. Both laws seek to dramatically transform the American economy, and yet both laws are silent on exactly how these overhauls are to take place. The only real fix is to impose sharp constraints on the growth of government, and to adopt a different attitude toward government’s role in our lives
