Eliminating Bureaucracy - Cass Sunstein

It sounds fascinating in "theory"... nevertheless, it's huge step towards a better future - here:

"
We are taking immediate steps to save individuals, businesses, and state and local governments hundreds of millions of dollars every year in regulatory burdens. The reforms have the potential to save billions of dollars more over time while maintaining critical health and safety protections for the American people.
For example, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration is announcing today that it is eliminating over 1.9 million annual hours of redundant reporting burdens on employers, saving tens of millions of dollars every year. Businesses will no longer be saddled with the obligation to fill out unnecessary government forms, giving their employees more time to be productive and do real work.

The Departments of Commerce and State are pursuing reforms that will make it easier for all American businesses to export, which will help them to expand and hire. The Department of Health and Human Services will be reconsidering burdensome regulatory requirements, including paperwork burdens, now placed on hospitals and doctors to ask whether those requirements actually benefit patients. And the Department of the Interior will be reviewing cumbersome, outdated regulations under the Endangered Species Act to clarify and expedite procedures for approval of conservation agreements."
