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.

Anyone who thinks we would be better off without government meat inspectors should be forced to read The Jungle while eating a hamburger in a third-world country.
