Red Tape

President Trump has succeeded in reducing some federal regulations but odds are you haven't noticed any difference in your own life. In fact, there's so much bureaucracy…so many processes, rules and procedures in virtually every facet of what we do, it may be among the most persistent and vexing challenges in American life. That's today's cover story: We're drowning in red tape.
Patty Tessari runs a food booth at local fairs.
Patty Tessari: My parents started in the carnival business in 1945.
She’s been coming to the Frederick, Maryland fair for 36 years…But says the red tape is getting so bad, she’s drowning in it.
Sharyl: Do you have any idea how much, in terms of your time and money, red tape costs you with this business?
Tessari: Red tape costs me a whole, whole lot of time. More time than anybody would want to pay me for.
This year, there was the fire extinguisher saga.
Tessari: This was good last year.
Her perfectly good fire extinguisher required a fresh inspection.
