Putting An End To Obama's Economy-Destroying Regulatory Siege
Investor's Business Daily ^ | 1/4/2017 | Staff

Regulation: As President Obama continues his bizarre last-minute regulatory siege without letup, Donald Trump has made it clear he'll undo most of the unneeded rules once he's in office. And Congress hopes to make it very easy for him to do.

As he heads for the exits, Obama is engaged in a frenzy of regulation, intended to hamstring American businesses and reward green groups and unions. But while the pace has picked up recently, it's really nothing new.

As Paul Bedard of the Washington Examiner has noted, Obama's "lame duck administration poured on thousands more new regulations in 2016 at a a rate of 18 for every new law passed," citing a new study by Clyde Wayne Crews of the Competitive Enterprise Institute.

Yes, Congress passes many of the laws that make these regulations possible. In 2016, Congress passed 211 laws, which is pretty impressive given that the House was only in session for about 111 days.

ISAIAH 30:1
“What sorrow awaits my rebellious children,”
says the Lord.
“You make plans that are contrary to mine.
You make alliances not directed by my Spirit,
thus piling up your sins.

I truly hope Trump’s economic team is tracking these.

They are no surprise to those of us who know he is muzlim and hates this country...and hate isn’t a strong enough adjective.

There are more than a few Freepers who routinely refer to Obola as stupid...foolish...immature,etc.This,IMO,is dangerous thinking.Obola is *very* intelligent and cunning.The problem with him is that he's utterly amoral...as were/are his three heroes/mentors:Saul Alinsky,Bill Ayers and Jerimiah Wright.

Obola despises this country and was brought up to despise it by his whore mother,his whore grandparents (the white ones) and the medieval moslems who taught him in Indonesia.

IMO,it will take years to undo the damage he's done to this country...if it can be undone at all.

Just remember this...that linebacker he's married to declared that she first became proud to be an American *after* he got the Rat Party nomination.

As President Obama continues his bizarre last-minute regulatory siege without letup

It only seems "bizarre" when you approach it as if Obama has always had the best interests of the United States in mind. These actions are not of a mature statesman, who only seeks the best for our country, even as his term ends. This is petulance: unbridled acts of mockery and scorn against the office and the country. He has no respect for our country, and if historians are accurate, they'll paint him as the worst President ever. (You're welcome, Jimmy Carter.)

It would not surprise me to hear that parts of the White House have been vandalized, perhaps even historic pieces ruined or in disrepair before January 20.

Please show me any evidence that Obama has an IQ above 100.

Every word of every Executive Order, Executive Memorandum, Signing statement and opinion letter he’s ever signed should be REVOKED and/or COUNTERMANDED.

There is nothing of official record that documents he has any IQ or other scholarly transcript.

What convinced me were his debates with Romney. He could not use a teleprompter, yet his answers were far above what a person of average intelligence could have given. They were cunning, deceitful, self serving, and effective.

His IQ is far above 100. I do not think he is anywhere near Ronald Reagan (a genius), Bill Clinton (definitely high IQ, if used for evil) or Donald Trump (likely another genius).

But he is no dummy.

The article says that the House passed the Midnight Relief Act which will allow them to overturn multiple regulations at once. Sounds like they plan to delete them all.

The amount of damage Obama has done - none of it is accidental.

I'd guess it's slightly above room temperature.

His IQ squared couldn’t equal minus zero :)

Disagree - Obama's not, but there are those around him who are. It's a common mistake to attribute treachery as intelligence. I'm speaking from first hand experience - I've run into asshats like Obama before - they were certainly amoral and sneaky yet talentless and had to partner with and wholly rely upon the knowledge and skillsets of others to pull off schemes. Obama is the public face for a machine that has most of its working parts hidden.
