A very interesing piece involving FOIA and how the government tries not to
deliver what they are supposed

"For more than a year, CoA has focused on the IRS’s inconsistent
application of the Internal Revenue Code’s rule 6103, which states that
private taxpayer information must be kept confidential. Through a series of
Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) applications, CoA methodically requested
documents pertinent to the White House’s potential unlawful acquisition of
such information. The IRS appears to have moved to stonewall CoA, which has
not yet received the documents it requested, and Epstein says that the
delays amount to the IRS’s acknowledgment to at least some
wrongdoing.Epstein and his team first requested that the IRS provide any
communications regarding the president’s personally requesting taxpayer
information, a power legal under 6103(g), which allows the president access
to the information if he submits a letter to the agency or authorizes a
member of his staff to do so. CoA knew that no president had ever exercised
that authority and knew that it would get nothing back as a result."

"The problems of our economy have occurred not as an outgrowth of
laissez-faire, unbridled competition.
They have occurred under the guidance of federal agencies, and under the
umbrella of federal regulations."
Senator Ted Kennedy, in defending trucking deregulation in 1978.
