Is there a reason to believe that getting rid of a regulation actually fosters in better regulations? I don't think I follow that logic.

- btilly 8y agoRegulations tend to follow abuse. The more egregious the abuse, the stronger the regulation. Therefore a strong regulation can follow deregulation. Of course the opposite can happen. Deregulation can shift the Overton window to the point where regulations that once seemed reasonable are off the table. As an example, even most of the people complaining about growing inequality between rich and poor aren't openly suggesting a return to pre-Reagan top tax rates of 70%.
