Reader comment on: My Wish List for the New Congress

Submitted by John Gillis (United States), Nov 12, 2014 18:24

While I agree that do-nothing is often the best choice, I do wish for the Congress to pass laws repealing old laws. There is a LOT of stuff to do! It would be great to have a law saying "Sarbanes-Oxley is hereby repealed." Or "Dodd-Frank is hereby repealed". Or "the SEC and the insider tradiing laws are hereby repealed in their entirety." Perhaps these simple laws are naive and mostly politically impossible, but they are what a true do-nothing Congress should do.
