Both too much red tape and political polarization are symptoms of a fatally flawed governing system. The failure of American democracy is caused by a post-1960s framework designed to avoid human responsibility. #simplifygov @CityJournal
What many Americans see clearly—but most public intellectuals cannot see—is a political system that prevents people from acting on their best judgment. By re-empowering officials to do what they think is right, we may also reinvigorate American democracy. https://t.co/k6eUOjDzVS
Vital for law to be coherent to people expected to abide by it. Otherwise it lacks the quality of law, and becomes a kind of tyrant. @CassSunstein @KentatCEI #simplifygov
We joined @CassSunstein and @PhilipKHoward’s discussion on regulatory changes that could encourage additional relief in the pandemic. We asked them, “what role does language play to help/hinder people’s understanding and access to what they’re entitled to”. Here’s their answer:
Good idea, @danhenninger, to use federal funding to pry loose "pointless regulation for startups." I'd also end featherbedding in infrastructure projects. #trycommonsense #simplifygov https://t.co/HUvT1XlR99 via @WSJ
Excellent analysis from @mercatus @adamthierer on how to approach healthcare regulation coming out of this crisis. Why go back to inefficiency and red tape paralysis? @jebbush #trycommonsense #simplifygov https://t.co/MfdS4QkJU3
Thank you @adamthierer. This crisis demonstrates that the modern state is long overdue for a spring cleaning. #simplifygov
No one has more consistently & cogently identified the dangers of leaving excessive bureaucracy unaddressed than @PhilipKHoward. His latest @cityjournal essay is essential reading regarding how we got into the catastrophic mess we find ourselves in today. https://t.co/rXc9Tv81VX
And @PhilipKHoward lays out the details of how a #RecoveryAuthority would operate in @CityJournal: https://t.co/5t2a1CcPJk @DanaPerino @GreggJarrett #SimplifyGov #TryCommonSense
We agree! In @USAToday last week, @PhilipKHoward called for a #RecoveryAuthority to cut through red tape and get America back on track!: https://t.co/K81UhwSpGB
My essay in @cityjournal about how a recovery authority could be organized. #simplifygov #recoveryauthority
America's economic engine is bogged down in bureaucracy. To break America free from its bureaucratic addiction, Congress should authorize a temporary Recovery Authority with the mandate to expedite private and public initiatives. https://t.co/Lc4UNiFhjl via @PhilipKHoward
Yes, as @casssunstein argues, it’s time for spring cleaning commissions to get rid of excessive red tape. And a Recovery Authority to streamline getting back up.#simplifygov. https://t.co/xO7p4R9uFn via @bopinion
Yes, @kentatcei @DanaPerino @CesarConda, Economic recovery will require leadership to cut through the red tape. #recoveryauthority #simplifygov
@CesarConda @DanaPerino I have suggested the same. @PhilipKHoward has a similar idea. Any version of these proposals would be welcome. Let’s make it happen.
Read this—a tragicomedy of public health officials trying to pass through the eye of the Washington needle. Truly COVID is the canary ... #simplifygov #trycommonsense https://t.co/DzJ9HWW2B6
Nice shout-out in @wsj . Streamlining red tape is pro-environmental— fixing polluting bottlenecks and saving $$ to modernize more infrastructure. #simplifygov Environmental impact statements shouldn’t take 13 years and more than 16,000 pages. https://t.co/ujMDACe3BL via @WSJ
What a concept, @timalberta, to run Gov’t sensibly! But sane leadership is not the only hurdle. Also need a spring cleaning of legacy bureaucracies. #simplifygov @AndrewYang @purduemitch @SteveForbesCEO @JohnAvlon
Almost every Trump voter I met in 2016 said it was time for someone to run govt like a business—efficient, responsive, etc
This is an underlying failure of Trump’s presidency: The government is a mess. No CEO could keep their job amid such chronic turmoil & dysfunction. Will he?
Great compliment for Try Common Sense to be on best books list by @Polioptics and @ICEHousePodcast . #simplifygov
In the great tradition of Thomas Paine, @PhilipKHoward is a lawyer and pamphleteer on a mission: cutting red tape wherever he sees it. His book: Try Common Sense: Replacing the Failed Ideologies of Right and Left, is a call to action.

So where do school dollars go? 21 state school systems now have more non-instructional personnel than teachers. Bureaucracy is wildly expensive. @nickgillespie #simplifygov
An unacknowledged piece of the education debate is how lousy teacher unions have been in securing dollars for their members. Most goes to retirement/health benefits that will never actually materialize.
Incisive column by @purduemitch on both parties ignoring what most Americans want--practical, effective governing. Thanks for the shout-out to Try Common Sense. @glennbeck @SteveForbesCEO also on board

Polarization is a symptom of govt paralysis as well as a cause. The cure involves re-empowering Americans to take responsibility. #simplifygov #trycommonsense https://t.co/bUM6Smtu1t
Yes, @lessig, @AndrewYang , campaign finance is sleazy, consumes the energy of politicians, and should be rebooted. The best path to get there, imho, is to have a new, humanistic governing vision to fight for. #simplifygov
"Democrats pose as “change agents” by attacking big business and proposing to eliminate money in politics. But where is their vision for how government will work better once virtuous people are in charge?" Brilliant piece by @PhilipKHoward -Promising the moon,ignoring broken govt
Rebooting Washington is essential for Ds as well as Rs. Obsolete laws waste resources. Red tape doubles costs and causes nurses, teachers and others to burn out. @SteveForbesCEO and @AndrewYang find common ground here. #simplifygov
Read our latest newsletter on why rebooting Washington should be a pillar of any successful presidential campaign, @AndrewYang’s comments on that front: https://t.co/WkBQozb9nU #DemDebate #RebootWashington
Here’s my take on how D candidates will cede the election to Trump. Only @AndrewYang has concrete proposals to make Govt work sensibly. #simplifygov Promising the moon, ignoring broken government https://t.co/L9q9YkQaIg
What an important insight, @AndrewYang. You can’t organize a society by the lowest common denominator. Land of the free has become a legal minefield. @SteveForbesCEO #simplifygov
This country pays a lot of attention to its outliers. We should be paying more attention to the normal person.
