Heritage Asks Issa To Reverse Decades Of Worker, Consumer, Environmental Laws

[meegbear]

CREW got a hold of a bunch of letters to House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa from trade association, industry, and think tank leaders, which identify aspects of the federal regulatory regime that they believe Issa should investigate to make life and profits easier for businesses.

The one that most neatly reflects the priorities of the conservative movement comes from the Heritage Foundation, which is asking Issa to attack decades worth of regulatory and statutory worker and consumer protections.

Here's the laundry list:

• Individual health insurance mandate


• Employer health insurance mandate


• Minimum health insurance benefit standards


• All future Consumer Financial Protection Bureau regulations


• Limiting debit card fees


• Transparency for shareholders


• Credit card regulation


• Incandescent light bulb phase out


• Broader energy efficiency standards


• Fuel efficiency standards


• Carbon pollution regulation


• Auto tailpipe standard


• Renewable fuel standards


• Low-income housing promotion


• Corporate accounting requirements


• Net neutrality


• Corporate media ownership rules


• Dairy price controls


• Domestic sugar subsidization
