Was POTUS trying to tell us about No Name killing bills in his committee? What else has no name killed? Subcommittees the antithesis of democracy?
Think about it.
POTUS prefers people who weren’t “captured."
Think “CAPTURE.”
What is another form of CAPTURE?
<REGULATORY CAPTURE is a form of government failure which occurs when a regulatory agency, created to act in the public interest, instead advances the commercial or political concerns of special interest groups that dominate the industry or sector it is charged with regulating.

S.1338 - Regulatory Capture Prevention Act of 2011 112th Congress (2011-2012)
This bill would have produced a watch dog within the Office of Management & Budget, outside of the purview of the Government Accountability Office, and the Congressional Budget Office. It would have had the power to coordinate with INSPECTORS GENERAL.
Findings and reports would have been reportable to Congress and publicly available, and referred to the appropriate committee (Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs of the Senate; the Committee on Appropriations of the Senate;the Committee on the Judiciary of the Senate; the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform of the House of Representatives; the Committee on Appropriations of the House of Representatives; the Committee on the Judiciary of the House of Representatives.)
BILL SUMMARY:
Introduced in Senate (07/07/2011)
Regulatory Capture Prevention Act of 2011 - Establishes the Office of Regulatory Integrity in the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), to be headed by an Administrator. Requires the Administrator to investigate and report on the influence of concentrated economic interests on federal agencies that results in: (1) agency action or inaction that fails to advance the mission of the agency or is otherwise inimical to the public interest; (2) regulation, licensing, adjudication, grants, or other agency action that favors a limited number of economic interests or is otherwise inimical to the public interest; (3) enforcement priorities that are not reasonably calculated to accomplish regulatory goals; and (4) a loss of confidence in the integrity of the regulatory process.
Grants certain powers to the Administrator to carry out this Act, including access to agency records, subpoena power, direct and prompt access to the head of a relevant agency and access to information and assistance by such agency.
Requires the Administrative Conference of the United States to provide the Administrator with written guidance on the principal means by which concentrated economic interests wield influence on federal agencies, the most salient threats to regulatory integrity arising from such influence, and effective measures to minimize regulatory capture.
