Leashes Come Off Wall Street, Gun Sellers, Miners and More
New York Times ^ | MARCH 5, 2017 | ERIC LIPTON and BINYAMIN APPELBAUM

Telecommunications giants like Verizon and AT&T will not have to take “reasonable measures” to ensure that their customers’ Social Security numbers, web browsing history and other personal information are not stolen or accidentally released.

Wall Street banks like Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase will not be punished, at least for now, for not collecting extra money from customers to cover potential losses from certain kinds of high-risk trades that helped unleash the 2008 financial crisis.

And Social Security Administration data will no longer be used to try to block individuals with disabling mental health issues from buying handguns, nor will hunters be banned from using lead-based bullets, which can accidentally poison wildlife, on 150 million acres of federal lands.

These are just a few of the more than 90 regulations that federal agencies and the Republican-controlled Congress have delayed, suspended or reversed in the month and a half since President Trump took office, according to a tally by The New York Times.

The emerging effort — dozens of additional rules could be eliminated in the coming weeks — represents one of the most significant shifts in regulatory policy in recent decades. It is the leading edge of what Stephen K. Bannon, Mr. Trump’s chief strategist, described late last month as “the deconstruction of the administrative state.”

Well, I went home with the waitress,
the way I always do
How was I to know?
She was with the Russians too.
Send leashes, gun sellers and miners
The sh*t has hit the fan.

Seems as if the hyperventilating homosexuals at the NYT have gone apoplectic.

Best. Election. Ever.

There’s no reason your internet/phone company needs your social security number. Don’t give it to them and you won’t have to worry. I don’t give it to my Dr or dentist either.

We need eight years of Trump doing this and then another eight years under you, “grasshopper” and by then they will have made some tremendous strides.

When you enroll for Medicare, your ID# will always be your social security number followed by a single letter. Has been this way for as long as I know. So much for the government caring about your financial security.
