Jeb Bush wants new rules for federal rule-making

• washingtonpost.com

Now he's going after federal rule-making.

The wonky former Florida governor has been making speeches or publishing policy papers on a variety of subjects roughly every 10 days since August. In each case, the plan includes some of his own ideas -- many of them implemented during his governorship -- combined with ideas drawn from legislation introduced by Republican lawmakers in recent years.

On Tuesday Bush will do it again, this time unveiling a new regulatory reform plan during a meeting with farmers in Gladbrook, Iowa. His plan seizes on a basic Republican rallying cry: That the Obama administration has stifled job growth and further expanded the size, scope and power of government through federal regulations.
