Congress moved quickly to overturn that policy. COST Cost estimates of the ergonomics regulation vary. Predictably, OSHA's estimates are lowest and are dwarfed by other estimates from within and outside government. Even the lower bound of this estimate shows the rule's costs outweigh its benefits. Private estimates put the cost even higher.
Regulations are simply taxes by any other name.
This crushing regulation would completely wipe out the benefits of President Bush's proposed tax cut. The letter incorrectly claims that if Congress invalidates the rule under the Congressional Review Act, OSHA will be forbidden to revisit ergonomics without intervening congressional authorization. In fact, OSHA may revisit ergonomics without intervening congressional action.
