Henry Waxman actually said...

"We need to remember that federal regulations also play a vital role in growing our economy and protecting our health and environment."

"It wasn't regulations that caused our financial collapse and the deepest economic recession since the Great Depression. It was unbridled deregulation."

"Finally--after years of delay--the Administration is taking action to rein in this toxic contamination. We should all support these efforts."

"Regulations don't just prevent harm, they can also help our economy."
