White House nominates Susan Dudley to be OMB regulation czar.
Last year she came out against fire-retardant kids pajamas.
Bemoaning the dire burden of regulations last year on Jim Glassman’s astroturf site TCSDaily.com, she wrote …
We also pay the price as consumers. From the moment we wake up in the morning — flushing the toilet twice, courtesy of the Department of Energy’s appliance standards — to the time we put our children in their Consumer Product Safety Commission-approved pajamas, regulations not only increase the cost of goods and services we buy, but also the choices we can make.
The heavy hand of government stomping down on kid frying. Enough to make you a Hayek disciple after all.
As an expectant father I certainly hope that the government will stay out of our decisions about whether to put our child to bed in flammable pajamas.
