Federal agencies, led by Labor and Health and Human Services, are cutting Obama-era regulations and saving money faster than demanded by President Trump, according to a new report.

And as a result, the administration is expected to easily meet the president’s order to cut at least two old regulations for every new one issued and cut the costs of regulations.

“With less than two months remaining in FY 2018, the Trump administration is well on its way to surpassing its regulatory budget goals,” said the new report from American Action Forum, which charts federal regulations.

“Collectively, executive agencies subject to a regulatory budget remain on pace to double the administration’s overall savings goal. On an individual basis, 12 of 22 agencies have already met or surpassed their savings target,” added the report written by Dan Bosch, the director of regulatory policy at the American Action Forum.

They can save millions just not buying guns, MRAP’s and ammo for white collar wheelchair agencies. Step Two is to get rid of the agencies themselves.

Cutting regulations and saving money? what regulations are being cut? The story implies that the regulations are saving the federal government money. So are their people being let go, or at least not replaced? That would be huge if the federal government was getting smaller somehow.

Which 10 are the laggards?

Perhaps they need some onsite encouragement to get the lead out

The Federal Register has tens of thousands of pages of regulations, most of which add friction and resistance to the free flow of commerce. That means they cost the economy money. Even without cutting employees, cancelling regulations means the economy works more efficiently which is good for the country.

But the way this article is written, it say Federal government is spending less because of the fewer regs.
