| Summary/Abstract |
Chances are that you will never hear a crowd at a protest rally chant, "What do we need? Regulation! When do we need it? Now!"
People want safe food, clean air, and clean water. But in the abstract, regulation is never a popular idea. In a tough economic environment, it might seem like a recipe for disaster. In the United States, businesses large and small have long argued that they are subject to excessive red tape and government oversight, and in the context of a serious recession, that concern has become acute. In light of the country's general enthusiasm for freedom of choice, regulation is particularly vulnerable to political attack.
