——When a true conservative is elected president, and he eliminates all this government over-regulation, business will explode and the economy will grow like gangbusters. It is then that prosecution of the socialists will begin. And in hope they don’t waste their time putting them in jail.-——

The POTUS doesn’t eliminate regulation....congress does...he either approves or vetoes....

Far too much money is at stake to rid ourselves of the crony capitalist who run congress....

Nice idea... But it won’t happen at least not in a meaningful way...

You might want to so some research on “The Administrative State” and reconsider that statement.

I believe it is the case that Congress sets up these Agencies (e.g., IRS, EPA ) with goals and rules about how they will generate their own rules. Usually, they propose a rule, give time for comments, finalize the rule, and the rule becomes “law” unless both House and Senate vote to nullify it. With Harry Reid controlling the Senate, no legislation revoking a rule (e.g., CO2 regulated as a ‘pollutant’) is allowed.

Congress only passes an average of 85 laws per year; the Federal Register adds about 15,000 pages of “rules” per year. We are not living in either a Republic or a Democracy ... we are living in an unsupervised Administrative State.
