Nearly $3 billion in Obama-era federal regulations have already been slashed by President Trump and Republicans in Congress, a benefit that also saves Americans 41 million hours of paperwork.
A new report from the regulation watchdog American Action Forum said that Trump's executive orders and congressional passage of cuts to regulation via the Congressional Review Act have saved $2.8 billion in potential costs.

“This is an outrage. We want MORE regulations and paperwork,” said every democrat ever.
Only 2 politicians to ever cut government regulations Trump and Reagan.
The media , and soros’ owned Gop politicians like Mccain and grhamasty are out to destroy Trump.Most poitiicans are on Soros’ payroll. This is why they never tried to stop Obama
Great job, Mr. President...congress,too, I guess.
That is part of one day’s spending by the Fed Gov.
Add Goldman Sachs. They bought off the senate to pass TPP.
It’s a good start!
WOOOHOOOO Trump & Congress.
As a side note to this thread, please consider the following.
Patriots beware !
Merely repealing Obama’s regulations is dangerously shortsighted; corrupt GOP RINO-controlled Congress is giving us another dog-and-pony show, arguably snowing rookie Pres. Trump in the process.
More specifically, since the feds have proven again and again that they cannot be trusted to work within the very limited powers expressly constitutionally delegated to them by the states, patriots must be vigilant in the following way where federal regulations are concerned.
Patriots must make sure that the regulations that lawless Obama made, for example, are based on constitutionally enumerated federal powers. And if such is not the case then such powers are based on stolen state power in which case patriots must do one of two things.
Patriots must either support Pres. Trump and USAG Sessions in working with corrupt Congress to either peacefully “force” the feds to surrender state powers that the feds have stolen from the states back to the states,
Or Trump and Sessions need to work with the states and Congress to propose appropriate amendments to the Constitution to the states for ratification so that the feds have the constitutional authority to make such regulations. (Note that the states are not obligated to ratify any proposed amendment to the Constitution.)
Again, patriots are warned that unless the feds surrender stolen state powers back to the states, then it is only a matter of time before another lawless president works in cahoots with corrupt, state sovereignty-ignoring Congress to use those stolen powers to oppress the states and their citizens.
Drain the swamp! Drain the swamp!
Remember in November ’18 !
Since Trump entered the ’16 presidential race too late for patriots to make sure that there were state sovereignty-respecting candidates on the primary ballots, patriots need make sure that such candidates are on the ’18 primary ballots so that they can be elected to support Trump in draining the unconstitutionally big federal government swamp.
Such a Congress will also be able to finish draining the swamp with respect to getting the remaining state sovereignty-ignoring, activist justices off of the bench.
Noting that the primaries start in Iowa and New Hampshire in February ‘18, patriots need to challenge candidates for federal office in the following way.
Patriots need to qualify candidates by asking them why the Founding States made the Constitution’s Section 8 of Article I; to limit (cripple) the federal government’s powers.
Patriots also need to find candidates that are knowledgeable of the Supreme Court's clarifications of the federal government’s limited powers listed below.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphasis added].” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
Yes, it is! Now we need much more. First order of business has to be to drain the swamp of the Obama leakers.
