It is certainly true we need to look at our regulations and really figure out (in a non partisan, agnostic manner) what works to achieve it's desired goals, and what doesn't, and to figure out what causes undesirable, unintended consequences, and weigh those consequences vs the benefits and make decisions about what to keep and what to cut based on our shared values. I think we all can find common ground there... But to say we need to get rid of regulations, or to suggest the government shouldn't be regulating business, is to suggest something from the extreme right that is neither reasonable, nor rational, and will never happen. We could find common ground and work together to move the country forward, or we can take positions on the far left and the far right and see which one shouts louder and go nowhere. What would you prefer?
