Gutting Government Regulation

Older readers will recall that libertarian author Ayn Rand had a significant following in the 1970s, as many people perceived, often correctly, that the public sector was defined by bloat, corruption, and, at best, far greater inefficiencies than could be found anywhere in the private sector.

Yet many serious problems with that idea were about to come forward, all centered around greed and private companies’ unwillingness to police themselves.  Whether the issue was deregulated banking, auto safety, environmental ruination, drug ineffectiveness and undisclosed side-effects, or, in this case, food safety, the answer was becoming clear: industry players would do anything in order to profit at consumers’ expense.

Project 2025 will eviscerate government regulation across dozens of business sectors and expand Big Money’s ability to capitalize on the misery of the common person.
