自20世纪30年代以来，国会已将立法、行政和司法权力授予200多个独立监管委员会。这些机构制定了90%以上的联邦法律。他们由未经选举的个人统治，基本上不向法院和国会负责。他们一再以生命和健康为代价追求自身利益。通常，这些机构会成为其监管行业的俘虏，比如FDA（受制于制药行业），因为管理该机构的人从受监管的关键行业获得丰厚的政府后就业机会符合其自身经济利益。其结果是普遍的腐败、有偏见和不正当的执法以及反竞争监管。
The Rise of Tyranny (Audiobook)
Since the 1930s the Congress has delegated legislative, executive, and judicial powers to over 200 independent regulatory commissions. Those agencies enact over 90 percent of all federal law. They are ruled by individuals who are unelected and largely unaccountable to the Courts and Congress. Repeatedly they pursue their own self-interest at the expense of life and health. Often the agencies become captives of the industry they regulate, as in the case of the FDA (captive to the pharmaceutical industry) because it is in the economic self interest of those who run the agency to obtain lucrative post government employment form the key industries regulated. The result is widespread corruption, biased and perverse enforcement of the law, and anti-competitive regulation.
