Former President Obama made good on his effort to tie President Trump's hands with new regulations, adding $157 billion in new rules from Election Day to Inauguration Day alone.
A new report from American Action Forum, which charts regulations, said that the administration published a full year's worth of new rules in just two months.
"Throughout 2016, the administration averaged roughly 45 rules per month, including final and proposed measures. Then in November 2016, the administration managed to produce 57 rulemakings, an increase, but not statistically significant. By December, however, the administration approved more regulations (99) in that month than for any December since 1993. In other words, the Obama Administration more than doubled regulatory output in the month after the election," said Sam Batkins, director of regulatory policy at the American Action Forum.

Most if not all of them are unconstitutional.
The only purpose of these tsunamis of regulation is to turn every American into a felon, whom the government can lock up anytime.
Also, to shut down the economy.
Trump can recind all these rules. The quicker the better.
I think Congress has 60 days to cancel any rule. They should cancel them in mass until they can be reviewed. I don’t think the GOPe will allow it though.

“According to a report released by The Heritage Foundation’s Gattuso and Daren Bakst, the Congressional Review Act will be able to address regulations handed down by Obama dating back to June 3, 2016.”
“Jammed”
bo’s signature!
Recind any and all regulations issued by OB!!!
Obamaturd. Erase him.
...keep Trump and staff so busy undoing the regulations that he has no time to fix anything else. That will ensure the public remains unhappy with him, on the basis that he didn't accomplish anything 'new'.
The DEMS have to cheat to have a chance in hell of getting re-elected over the next few years.
Most will be undone by Trump; obama was simply taking advantage of his last opportunity to be a pain in the *ss.
I despise that lying American hating muslim scumbag almost as much as the idiots who voted for him.
As someone said, “Obama had a pen and a phone. Trump has an eraser.”
The reason giving for repealing these regs should be in most cases that they are unconstitutional ,,, Trump should go right to the root of the problem and have his DOJ fight to undo the abuse of the commerce clause.
EXCELLENT! So few get that. God bless.
