Brookings Institution ‘Assessing The Risks & Costs of the Rising US Federal Debt’
Who Is Brookings Institution? Google AI says:
The Brookings Institution is a non-profit organization based in Washington, D.C., that conducts nonpartisan research and analysis to improve policy and governance at local, national, and global levels. It is one of the oldest think tanks in the United States, with a history dating back to 1916.
The Brookings Institution is generally considered a centrist or center-left think tank. While it describes itself as independent and nonpartisan, it has been labeled as liberal-centrist or centrist by various media outlets. A 2005 study found it was referenced as an authority almost equally by both conservative and liberal politicians.
Brookings Institution ‘Tracking regulatory changes in the second Trump administration’
“The Reg Tracker focuses on major regulatory changes implemented under the current Trump administration. Entries we tracked during the Biden administration and during President Trump’s first term can be accessed through the “Biden” or “Trump Term 1” archive checkboxes, respectively.”
Brookings Institution ‘Explaining the Brookings Regulatory Tracker’
See Article here: https://www.brookings.edu/articles/explaining-the-brookings-regulatory-tracker/“It is important to note that the Reg Tracker is not comprehensive. Instead, the tracker encompasses a curated set of rules that the Center on Regulation and Markets (CRM) staff deems to be particularly important. We use four key characteristics to determine if a rule should be included in the tracker:
Media attention. If staff finds a rule receives coverage from a major news outlet, then we will consider including it in the tracker.
Litigation. Rules that are the subject of any new or ongoing litigation may be included in the tracker after a more detailed review of the litigation action.
Rollback of Biden rule. At the start of Trump’s second term, we expect that many rules will be explicitly aimed at repealing or revising regulations that had been passed during the Biden administration. We aim to include many of these rules in the tracker.
General impact. If a rule does not meet any of the above qualifications but seems as though it will have a particularly strong impact based on staff judgement, then it may be included.”
