Glenn Reynolds has a good USA Today column catching President Obama getting something right — drawing attention to the problem of excessive occupational licensing requirements (is that redundant?) imposed by state and local governments. Professor Reynolds concludes:
We now have a Republican House and Senate that purport to stand up for small businesses and entrepreneurs, and a White House report that would provide bipartisan justification for such action. Will Congress do its part? Or, when it comes to promoting opportunity, is it all just talk?
Good question.
