re: #38 reine.de.tout

I’m no fan of Big Government.

I am a former state employee who worked for an agency with rule-making authority, and I know the mess things would have been had the legislature tried to do what we did without the training and expertise we had in our field.

Also - for any rule or regulation - there is a period for public comment, there are hearings … the process is open, it’s just that people have to actually make themselves aware of what’s going on, may need to READ and perhaps attend and participate in the process. It’s so much easier to just lay it all at the feet of the legislature or Congress while doing nothing actively yourself.

I will also add that we could change a rule or a regulation much quicker than the legislature could change a law. In other words, we could be more quickly responsive to changing needs.
