Howie Carr on WRKO radio interviewed Ovide on his show this afternoon and he sounded excellent. He lost narrowly to Kelly Ayotte in the NH Senate race and is back running for NH governor. (I didn't see a link for podcast of the interview but maybe there's one somewhere).


I was interested to hear Ovide say that if elected one of the first things he would do is place a 60-day moratorium on new regulations (I believe he said 60 days). I've learned more about government regulations recently. Regulations are easier to enact than laws and perform the same functions for special interests that laws do. The regulation racket has become a shadow government. Ordinary citizens are out of the loop in the regulation racket, without knowledge, time, access or money to address or even prepare for endless waves of regulations.

Special interests have figured out that regulations are easy money. Even if the regulations are actually a terrible idea, no one is paying attention so they go through. Year after year, more and more regulations are added taking trillions of dollars out of national, state, and local economies. To assume that piles of regulations are always good is to assume that all human beings are perfect and have pure motives.

I recently heard Rosa Koire on You Tube video speaking about transformations taking place across the US in local governments. Rosa didn't waste time wondering why politicians don't do the right thing. She focuses on what we must do as our civic duty if we care about our country.
