Government regulators are another name for police.
If the Congress is going to spend its whole time hauling up regulators and bureaucrats and looking like they're focusing on tiny, trivial things, instead of jobs and the economy, it could be a problem for them.
Every deal is a regulated deal. Regulators will tell you how to take your money home.
Regulators are in the best position to regulate when they are intimately knowledgeable about the activities they are regulating.
Freedom is the quality of being free from the control of regulators and tax collectors. If I want to be free their control, I must not impose controls on others.
Regulators are a backstop: they don't own banks. The governance at the top of our leading banks has been shown to be lamentably weak. No one at the top of Barclays will take responsibility for systemic abuse.

It strikes me as hubris that Universal will buy EMI. What it will do is create a super-major that will have far too much power. . .

Every time Washington regulators pass down another heavy-handed rule or levy another hefty fine, Colorado loses potential jobs, revenue, and economic security.
Regulators have not been able to achieve the level of future clarity required to act pre-emptively. The problem is not lack of regulation but unrealistic expectations. What we confront in reality is uncertainty, some of it frighteningly so. . .
Regulators are power-lusting mediocrities.
I urge telecommunications regulators to develop a commercial strategy for delivering effective access to the continent.
