In Washington, unlike the rest of the nation, competing realities are what we live with every day. As I was doing my daily reading, this came home to me in two articles. One is a report of the extraordinary number of new regulations coming out of the federal government. In the other, a former Administration official touts the feds’ record in reducing the regulatory burdens imposed by Washington. I wish to could say that reducing regulatory burden was important but here at the CPSC, that is rarely the case. Gosh, we couldn’t even agree on how to design a plan to look at the issue, much less do it. Here is a statement I recently posted about our failed attempt to do regulatory review.
