Number of words (references excluded): 15.664 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Combining university level studies with a daytime job has not always been evident, but it would have been impossible if the VUB did not organize courses after working hours. Therefore, I would like to start by thanking the VUB and its staff for giving me this fantastic opportunity. Although a dissertation is mostly an individual endeavour, various people have thoroughly supported me during the writing process. In the first place, I would like to thank professor Delwaide for his countless reading suggestions and his insightful comments on earlier drafts of this thesis. I would also like to thank Dr. Svitlana Kobzar for sharing her ideas about the EU’s Ukraine policy. My family and my girlfriend also deserve credit for supporting me during the whole process and for putting up with me during frustrating and/or stressful moments. Evidently, all faults in this work are the sole responsibility of the author. 1 Table of Contents Acknowledgements.......................................................................................................................

To subscribe, email [email protected], with “This Week” in the subject line. ​ ​ TRUMP ADMINISTRATION & WALL STREET Wall Street and Washington: A New Love Affair | NY Times (Andrew Ross Sorkin) ​ The presidency of Donald J. Trump — the wealthiest businessman to occupy the White House in recent memory — has ushered in a new paradigm, one in which business and government are married in a way never seen before. And the people whom Mr. Trump has appointed come from the most senior ranks of business, bringing with them a frame of reference that is almost strictly about profit and economic growth. It isn’t often said aloud, but the aristocracy that Mr. Trump has put in place may be more important than any rule written on paper.And while there are significant questions about whether their experience in business will translate in Washington — and to the Regular Joe who supported Mr. Trump — their focus on issues that relate to the economy and their reverence for increasing G.D.P. have lifted the spirits in corner offices across America. Whether the topic is trade, infrastructure or taxes, to the C.E.O. set, Mr. Trump speaks their language. The Regulatory Wrecking Ball | NY Times (editorial) ​ Trump Says Planning 'Haircut' for Dodd-Frank Banking Regulations | NY Times ​ Trump Promises CEOs 'A Very Major Haircut On Dodd-Frank' | Talking Points Memo ​ Trump Vows Extreme Deregulation of Industry, Infrastructure | Bloomberg ​ President Donald Trump escalated previous pledges to deregulate broadly--to as much as 95 percent--with a particular focus on the financial industry and permits required for infrastructure projects.

  • Report! Our National Debt Is Careening Toward $19 Trillion (Yes, That Is a 19 Followed by 12 Zeros), and Federal Regulations Are Expanding at a Record Pace
    2 My fellow taxpayers: Welcome to the first annual release of the Federal Fumbles report! Our national debt is careening toward $19 trillion (yes, that is a 19 followed by 12 zeros), and federal regulations are expanding at a record pace. Meanwhile families struggle to get home loans, and small businesses struggle to make ends meet. States are constantly handed unfunded mandates and executive fiats that they are forced to implement with minimal direction and no way to pay for them. I present this report as a demonstration of ways we can cut back on wasteful federal spending and burdensome regulations to help families, small businesses, and our economy begin to get out from under the weight of federal stagnation. Cited here are not only prime examples of wasteful spending, but also federal departments or agencies that regulate outside the scope of the federal government’s constitutional role. I firmly believe my staff and I have the obligation to solve the troubles of our nation, not Just complain, which is why for every problem identified, you will also find a recommended solution. There is a way to eliminate wasteful, ineffective, or duplicative program spending; develop oversight methods to prevent future waste; and find ways to get us back on track. Over the years other Members of Congress, including former Senator Tom Coburn, current Senators Dan Coats, Jeff Flake, John McCain, Rand Paul, Rep. Steve Russell, along with the House Republican Study Committee, have offered ideas to eliminate wasteful spending. It takes countless months, days, and hours to go through agency budgets, GAO reports, and Inspectors General reviews to identify, research, and fact-check government waste.
