Beyond Good and Evil

“I recently participated in a debate/discussion with regulation scholar Wayne Crews, my colleague at the Competitive Enterprise Institute and author of the invaluable annual regulatory survey Ten Thousand Commandments. The subject was DOGE, about which we just barely disagree: His position is that DOGE is better than nothing, and mine is that DOGE is worse than nothing. Where we agree is that in concerns touching both spending and regulation, Congress is the solution — because Congress is the problem. Or, more precisely, Congress is the problem most closely at hand. Politicians who face the voters periodically have a schedule of incentives that is different from what businesses experience in the marketplace … and the nature of the incentives is different, too, but they do ultimately respond to the voters who either reward or punish them.” (06/06/25)
