While R cannot do much to block the Biden agenda there is ONE nominee that should be rejected.
This OMB nominee needs to be less partisan with less of a vitriolic history.
The Biden administration has similarly used its first few weeks to expand the rule of unelected bureaucrats to workplaces, schools, hospitals, homes, and cars. While presidential directives can often be executed lawfully, the gargantuan agencies of Washington are likely to carry these to their leftist extreme, if allowed or encouraged by their leadership.
For this reason, confirming a leader with a sense of constitutional limits within the Office of Management and Budget, which corrals the agencies, is the last hope for Americans who believe there are some places the federal government cannot go.
The threat to our day-to-day life is tangible. Take, for example, the âModernizing Regulatory Reviewâ memorandum, issued Jan. 20. The memo reversed five executive orders issued by former President Donald Trump, each concerned with fairness and accountability in the regulatory process and lightening the regulatory load on Americans.
Indeed, Trumpâs deregulatory policies provided the average American household an extra $3,100 per year, and provided small businesses certainty about how they could comply with the law.
In place of Trumpâs executive orders, Biden directs the not-yet-confirmed director of the Office of Management and Budget to âaffirmatively promote regulationsâ that promote a cadre of undefined values such as âequityâ and âthe interests of future generationsâ and to figure out how to âplay a more proactive role in partnering with agencies to explore, promote, and undertake regulatory initiatives that are likely to yield significant benefits.â
Biden proposes to place this vast and undefined power with Tanden.
Tanden has also run afoul of the more progressive wing of the D party so there is a chance the Senate could reject her for a more moderate middle road nominee.
