Sunstein Says Agencies Cutting Burdens; Republicans Seek More Aggressive Effort

摘要

Republicans on a House Energy and Commerce subcommittee told President Obama's top regulatory official June 3 that the administration has not moved aggressively enough to roll back regulations that burden business and hamper job growth. Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee Chairman Cliff Stearns (R-Fla.) told Cass Sunstein, who coordinates the administration's regulatory development across an array of agencies, that the high cost of complying with regulations is one reason why the U.S. unemployment rate remains above 9 percent.
