In the USA, it often appears to me that our 2 party political system creates a great deal of ambiguity in just how much the Govco wants to interfere with business by enforcing the regulations already on the books. Both parties -claim- they want a "leaner" govco, one wants to make it smaller by getting out of individuals lives as much as possible, and the other wants to make smaller govco by getting out of the lives of corporations as much as possible. In my opinion, neither really gets out of anything.
