Congress must take the REINS

Sen. Rand Paul, Washington Examiner

Federal rules and regulations cost the U.S. economy more than $3 trillion each year and

dictate nearly every aspect of Americans’ lives — from the food they can eat to the types of cars they can drive. But while Americans can vote out their representatives in Congress for enacting harmful legislation, there is no similar accountability mechanism for unelected agency bureaucrats who implement bad rules. The Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny Act would change that. The legislation would return lawmaking power to Congress.
