Well, i won't argue that there isn't fat that could be trimmed from american regulatory side of beef. I will argue that, in many instances, regulation is something that only the government can do. In general, private business certainly can't be counted on to act responsibly in terms of the environment and employee welfare. People can't be counted on to responsibly buy and sell and use firearms or alcohol or prescription drugs.
As for congress delegating the decision making process, well, what would you have them do? Do you want congress to weigh the merits of every new medication that comes out?
