Sweet pea, I know. And I agree with you. But a lot of people want to roll them back because they feel that the regulation is worse than the mess created by common law tort stuff, or whatever. And, since I charge a zillion dollars an hour to interpret regulations for people, I have some sympathy for where they are coming from. And, some regulations unintentionally have bad side effects. But overall, I think having, oh, say, nondiscrimination standards for tax-preferred retirement savings is better than not regulating it. Or scrubbers in smokestacks. Or whatever.
