Yep, lets do a cost benefit analysis based on values that are impossible to quantify. :faint:
"No sooner had Mr. Obama told the bureaucracies to subject all regulations to a cost-benefit test than the bureaucrats began telling reporters that they are already a model of modern efficiency, thank you very much. Among many others, the Environmental Protection Agency said in a statement that it was "confident" it wouldn't need to alter a single current or pending rule. "In fact, EPA's rules consistently yield billions in cost savings that make them among the most cost-effective in the government."
OpinionJournal.com columnist John Fund analyzes the president's reasonable new rhetoric.
Perhaps the EPA's confidence owes to a little-noticed proviso in Mr. Obama's order. When the agencies weigh costs and benefits, the order says, they should always consider "values that are difficult or impossible to quantify, including equity, human dignity, fairness, and distributive impacts."
A perfect example of bureaucrat speak > "values that are difficult or impossible to quantify, including equity, human dignity, fairness, and distributive impacts."
Translation "we aren't going to change a damn thing"
