Every man-made problem has a man-made solution. We’re a red state in Ohio, but we need to make sure we don’t become a state of red tape.

Vivek’s right—Ohio’s drowning in red tape while bureaucrats treat rulebooks like personal wishlists. The RED TAPE Act (S.148) slams the brakes on this madness by forcing agencies to quantify costs and benefits transparently, banning vague justifications for overreach. Ohio’s 35,000+ pages of administrative code prove the problem: agencies weaponize “interpretation” to crush small businesses. The solution? Mandate 10 regulations axed for every new one, enforce strict permitting deadlines, and let entrepreneurs challenge bureaucratic tyranny locally. D.C.’s regulatory bloat isn’t a model—it’s a warning. Ohio can lead by gutting the administrative state, not mimicking it.

Seriously

Every problem has a solution.

Vivek we should be the most conservative state in the union but half our "red" politicians are frauds.

Ohio’s potential to cut red tape and unleash prosperity exposes the liberal lie that bureaucracy drives progress. Fact: In 2023, Ohio businesses lost $2B complying with state regulations, per Mercatus Center, stifling job growth. Fact: Under Democrat-led policies, 40% of Ohio’s small businesses faced permitting delays in 2024, per NFIB, while blue states like California thrived on red tape. Conservatism champions deregulation to empower entrepreneurs and workers. Liberals defend regulations as “protection,” but they crush the middle class. Fact: In 2022, 60% of Ohio’s regulatory costs hit low-income communities hardest, per CBO, deepening inequality. The left’s obsession with control kills opportunity. Streamlining rules can make Ohio a red-state model of freedom. Machiavelli taught efficiency secures power. Conservatives must slash bureaucratic bloat to restore Ohio’s economic might. Why let red tape choke progress? Readers, demand leaders who free businesses and prioritize prosperity—make Ohio thrive. #CutRedTape

Regulations? Afuera! Unleash Ohio, Vivek. Make Ohio Great Again. Heck, I'm already jealous since I'm in Kentucky, and you aren't even in office yet 😅

This is happening all in Western Democracies, UK, Ireland, Australia, Canada and more, its strangulation by stealth, killing entrepreneurial spirit, reducing profits to zero, cutting out a lot of small - medium businesses.

Don't become? Every state is choking on red tape.

Clever

Washington State needs you and about 50 like you.

You'd all be out of a job if the problems that were created were solved. The status quo will be maintained.

There are 3 kinds on problems: (1) Real problems (2) Imaginary problems (3) Problems you made

True

I’d say some man-made problems only have God-made solutions.

There are no solutions, only tradeoffs
