An Orange County Register editorial argues that regulatory accretion imposes costs far beyond individual rules.

Jim N. Taylor laments the US political state arguing only immature Donald Trump and dishonest Hillary Clinton remain viable for POTUS. He critiques Trump’s ignorance on trade and foreign policy and Hillary’s perceived socialism, urges compromise to avoid “evil,” and ends stating he will vote Trump, despite not being a Republican.
