And your message is what we always hear. What are these regulations specifically? There is nothing wrong with revisiting the regulations but wholesale elimination does far more damage than the regulations for the most part. That is the point of my post, too many Democrats accept this messaging without countering that many of these regulations are for the protection of the people.
