CJ, > Who are Bush appointees. Since you and John are doing a great job "filling in the blanks," perhaps you can name a few of these Bush appointees who stripped out the regulations, not to mention the specific regulation proposals themselves. No fair just posting some random links from Google. I want the specific names and the specific regulations referred to by the article, along with proof that the author of the article actually meant to refer to those. Tenchusatsu

I am guessing you don't understand how the process operates. If they didn't require congressional approval or the president's signature, then it was a set of regulations proposed by the bureaucracy and it was stripped out by their bosses. Who are Bush appointees. Actually, most of those regulators are "career employees", not political ones. And it is doubtful ANY regulations were cut without considerable involvement of the appropriate committees. As an example, the Dept. of the Treasury would never change regulations without consulting with the Staff of the JCT, at least not on any significant issue. And frankly, there is usually a period during which "proposed" regulations can be evaluated and commented upon.
