In the News Week in Review – January 3, 2020
The Trump Administration has largely failed to deliver on its promise to deconstruct the administrative state, Phillip Wallach of free-market think tank R Street wrote for the National Review. Despite some successes, such as President Trump’s order establishing a regulatory budget, Wallach argued that the current Administration’s deregulatory initiatives have been closer to “misbranded good-government reform” than a fundamental transformation of government. “The old order has proven itself more than capable of withstanding this president’s antiregulatory efforts,” he concluded.
