"Sometimes regulations are not cost-effective, and they should either be fixed or repealed. But sometimes regulations protect the public health and actually can save money."

"So that might affect a regulation that was a bad regulation or a good regulation; right? It's a great big mallet that comes down and kills that regulation."

"When I talk to businesses in my district, small and large, one of the great frustrations is obsolete regulations."

"I have always been a proponent of regulatory reform, but I don't think regulations are--I don't think regulations per se have values attached to them."
