“Subsidiarity”?

Sec. Turner: ‘Burdensome Regulation’ Fuels Affordability Crisis

AI Overview

Subsidiarity is a principle of social organization that holds that social and political issues should be handled at the lowest possible or most local level, with a higher authority only intervening when a lower authority cannot resolve the issue effectively

. Originating in Catholic social doctrine, it is now a concept used in political systems to promote decentralized decision-making and respect for local autonomy. 

Secretary Turner:

The Founding Fathers believed in the principle of subsidiarity and in putting careful restrictions on the federal government, while local governments perform many functions more efficiently. Unfortunately, America long ago stopped operating on that principle, but the Trump administration is bucking the trend. When possible, the administration wants to empower state and local authorities to get the job done and focus on solutions specific to their areas.
