Regulations cost families $15,000, Biden-Harris swamp plans more
Washington Examiner cited CEI on 10KC regulatory reform
As bad as those costs seem, they are likely much higher because the administration changed transparency rules after coming into office, hiding the impact of some regulations, according to the Competitive Enterprise Institute’s annual report on the federal regulatory state, Ten Thousand Commandments.
“Biden’s pursuit of various whole-of-government initiatives and transformation of OMB into a cheerleader for, rather than a watchdog over, regulation, I think he can greatly contribute to household costs far worse than what we imagine,” said the author of the report, CEI regulations expert Clyde Wayne Crews.
Crews and CEI have championed regulatory reform, which is unpopular in liberal bureaucratic circles in Washington. For example, former President Donald Trump faced difficulty maintaining his pledge as president to kill two regulations for every new one his administration imposed.
