Rick Perry

Business, Nothing, Around

Thomas Frank

David Cameron

Financial regulation is the next item on the political horizon, and it doesn't have to be the deathly dull wonk-battle that it sounds like. In fact, if the Democrats do their job, it can just as easily become a platform for addressing the greatest issues of them all.
Thomas Frank

Greatest, Job, Political

Once the cry and the cause of a generation of progressives to make America safer, fairer and cleaner, 'regulation' is now a dirty word in our politics. Even Democrats are quick to talk about cutting regulations; Republicans hate them with - how to put it? - evangelical fervor.
Jon Meacham

Politics, Hate, America

Politicians also have a love affair with the 'small business exemption.' Too much paperwork? Too heavy a burden? Not enough time? Just exempt small businesses from the rule. It sounds so pro-growth. Instead it's an admission that the costs of a regulation just can't be justified.
John Sununu

Dick Cheney

Respect, Economy, Private

Barney Frank

State, Medicine, Function

Jon Huntsman, Jr.

Dreams, Great, Government
