The Trump administration employs both overt and subtle strategies to reshape federal government functions, particularly targeting the cost-benefit analyses used in regulatory decision-making. By reverting to a 2003 framework instead of the updated 2023 version, the administration aims to diminish the perceived benefits of regulations protecting public health, the environment, and worker safety. Such changes are not merely administrative; they threaten to ground important policy decisions in obsolete information, undermining scientific advancements and market conditions developed over the last two decades.
The Trump administration's rollback of updated cost-benefit analysis processes will cause important government decisions to rely on outdated data, risking public health and safety.
The 2023 update to the regulatory analysis process was essential to reflect the latest scientific and economic developments, which the Trump administration chose to ignore.
