White House officials described Trump’s Executive Order for “Reducing Government Regulations and Controlling Regulatory Cost” as Trump’s “one in, two out” plan: For every regulation promulgated by a federal agency, that agency must “identify” two existing regulations to be targeted for extinction.

This should keep libs hopping. Hundreds of regs eliminated. They will need to protest each roll back and explain why “this is not who we are.”

I think this is my favorite among the 100 day endeavors as a great kick in the head to regulators.

The way it is written, wondering if a conniving agency could “identify” two existing regs to be “targeted for extinction”, with the targeting lasting a year, two years, or forever, while the new regulation is in place and in force.

While I agree 100% with the intent of this, I question if it is allowable by executive order. Isn’t legislation — its passage or its revocation — supposed to be the exclusive purview of the Congress? Executive branch’s involvement is supposed to be only the enforcement (or non-enforcement, a la Obama years).

Like Thunderdome?

I like this policy. Now what if we apply it to immigration also?

We’ll accept one LEGAL immigrant for every lib that leaves. I think we could start with Hollywood since they were so anxious to leave if Trump won.

I remember him mentioning this during the debates. It’ll be challenging but very much needed.
