Truth on the Market

A key pillar of the second Trump administration’s economic program is regulatory reform. The U.S. Justice Department’s (DOJ) newly launched Anticompetitive Regulations Task Force is a positive first step toward unraveling harmful anticompetitive federal and state regulations that slow economic growth and harm American families.
The task force will, nevertheless, face serious challenges. An administration emphasis on generating public support for regulatory reforms directed at pocketbook issues might prove helpful. Attention also could be paid to dismantling foreign anticompetitive market distortions in order to augment the benefits the task force achieves.
