That's kind of what I was intending with the "laws they create" phrase; I should have phrased that better. My point was more that laws are generally not easy to repeal once they are enacted. Sure, some are repealed, but it's a lot easier to fix a bad policy before it becomes the status quo. After a policy becomes law, fixing it now has the added hurdle of having to argue against an "incumbent" policy.
