Hidden Regulatory Taxes with Dr. Patrick McLaughlin | LPP 199

5/21/2026

0 Comments

 
​In Episode 199 of the Let People Prosper Show, Vance Ginn interviews Patrick McLaughlin of the Hoover Institution about how regulation affects transportation, freight costs, and economic growth.

The discussion explores how regulatory accumulation functions as a hidden tax across the economy, raising prices for consumers while slowing productivity and investment. They also discuss freight transportation, supply chain efficiency, the response to the East Palestine derailment, and why policymakers should focus on measurable, outcome-based regulation rather than symbolic mandates.

This episode highlights why transportation and regulatory policy matter far more to everyday affordability than most people realize.
