“Regulate” is the classic 1994 hip-hop number by Warren G

Has anyone ever used audio samples from campaign speeches to make a hip-hop song called “deregulate” by Warren G. Harding? It was central to his governing philosophy. (Well, that and deep, deep corruption.)

As part of Harding’s belief in limiting the government’s role in the economy, he sought to undercut the power of the regulatory agencies that had been created or strengthened during the Progressive Era. Among the agencies in existence when Harding came to office were the Federal Reserve (charged with regulating banks), the Interstate Commerce Commission (charged with regulating railroads) and the Federal Trade Commission (charged with regulating other business activities, especially trusts). Harding staffed the agencies with individuals sympathetic to business concerns and hostile to regulation.
