“as I said on the floor yesterday, when I meet with South Dakota business owners, I often tell them to let me know how we can help, even if that means getting out of the way, because that is often what the government needs to do: get out of the way. It is a foreign concept to the government-knows-best crowd. But what my Democratic colleagues frequently fail to realize is that while government can sometimes be a help, it can often be a hindrance, especially under Democratic administrations, which tend to load down Americans and American businesses with burdensome regulations for extremely dubious gains. The Biden administration certainly did that. One of our priorities this Congress has been taking advantage of the Congressional Review Act to repeal burdensome Biden administration regulations. We have passed 10 CRA resolutions so far, and this week we plan to add 4 more to that total. We will kick things off with Senator Tim Scott's resolution on the Biden administration's rubber tire manufacturing rule, an excellent example of a burdensome and unnecessary regulation. The Biden EPA's rubber tire rule set new emissions standards for tire manufacturers. Why? Well, that is a good question. Tire manufacturers are already subject to strict emissions rules, and the Biden EPA--that is right, the Biden EPA--found the rule was not necessary to protect public health or the environment.…”
