Congress Must Step Up: Locking In Reform, Cutting Waste, and Ending Regulatory Overreach
In the next installment of the Big Ideas for Smaller Government series, host David From welcomes back Jeremiah Mosteller, Policy Director at Americans for Prosperity, to discuss how Congress can take bold action to rein in runaway federal agencies, eliminate wasteful spending, and make key regulatory reforms permanent.
Jeremiah breaks down why popular executive orders from the previous administration—like those promoting transparency and accountability—won’t last unless Congress acts. He explains how legislation such as the Guidance Out of Darkness Act, the REINS Act, and the Reorganizing Government Act can prevent bureaucratic overreach, slash unnecessary regulations, and save taxpayers billions.
This episode pulls back the curtain on how hidden guidance documents function as backdoor regulation and how bloated rulemaking fuels agency growth. From shrinking budgets to restoring constitutional authority, Jeremiah outlines what’s needed to protect the gains of recent reforms—and why time is running out.
If you care about limiting government, cutting waste, and preserving individual liberty, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
