On the recordFebruary 11, 2011
As I introduce each of the members of my committee who sat through yesterday's hearing with witnesses on one side giving, in specificity, the problems, the regulations, what were the impediments to farming, to manufacturing and to mining, it is amazing that the gentleman quoted them, the gentleman from the other side of the aisle quoted them, but ignored his own witness who disputed any cost-benefit analysis being appropriate for looking at regulatory reform or even regulatory creation, preferring to simply say that all regulations should be judged on whether they do something, not what they cost.
