'Doing better than Ronald Reagan' to cut rules!
Under the Obama administration, the White House, the Department of Justice and other federal agencies repeatedly circumvented Congress by using guidance memos to create de facto regulations, changing laws without going through the review process.
In less than a year, however, the Trump administration has dramatically scaled back government overreach, Merrill Matthews, a resident scholar with the Institute for Policy Innovation, told WND.
Guidance typically from the department means there is some question about how to do this, because of the way it was ambiguously written, so a federal agency would provide guidance. But the Obama administration, actually, greatly overstepped those limits in clarifying things to in essence create new law, Matthews explained.
The Trump administration is doing better than Ronald Reagan on reducing the flow of regulation, he said, citing the free-market Competitive Enterprise Institute.
Obama ended his presidency with a record-shattering regulatory rulebook. The Federal Register topped off at 97,110 pages, an all-time high, with 18 regulations added for every new law .
While regulations and Federal Register pages, where agency rules and regulations are published, dropped more than one-third under President Reagan over several years, CEI notes, the Trump administration cut the number of pages in the Federal Register 32 percent in the first nine months of this year.
The Trump administration has saved $560 million by cutting regulations, according to American Action Forum.
When Trump ran for president, he promised to slash as many as 80 percent of all federal regulations, and he is on his way to fulfilling that promise.

The administrative state, illegal, unconstitutional.
POTUS DJT
WINNING!

“When Trump ran for president, he promised to slash as many as 80 percent of all federal regulations, and he is on his way to fulfilling that promise.”
On Friday, Sessions said simply sending a letter to make new rules is unconstitutional and that previously issued memos might soon be rescinded.
simply sending a letter - Obama’s way of creating law!
Trump bump! Drain the swamp!!
I actually am getting tired of winning.
No, not really.
For example, here is how Obama created a law on transgender bathrooms.
“One of the more recent and infamous Justice Department guidance memos from the former administration that had this type of effect was issued by Former Attorney General Loretta Lynch in May 2016 on transgender students access to bathrooms.”
“Obama orders schools to allow trans students use bathroom of their choice”
Throw him out, too!
Let him live someplace where they appreciate thieves and liars!
Oh, that’s right, he lived in Chicago.
Well, Puerto Rico needs a king!
Here he is in his crown. Ready to go be king.
That, is a good one.
There needs to be a similar rolling back of regulation at the state and (especially) local level too. Over regulation is absolutely destroying small business and the self-employed.
There are bad Executive Orders dating back to LBJ that are still in force and need to be overwritten right away by new Executive Orders from President Trump.
Trump outperforming Reagan.
And the Never Trumper’s weep and gnash their teeth.
The real impact of regulations is far greater than any economic analysis ever captures.
Good productive people waste days of their time collecting trivial information, filling out useless forms, and writing lengthy explainations of why the information that is available doesn't exactly fit the rigid one-size-fits-all requirements of the regulation. Then the information gets sent to some office and months or years later, a nameless beauracrat responds with another set of questions that makes clear they didn't really read the first form.
This process repeats itself millions of times a day, all over the US economy.
Easy: the United States judiciary has a political agenda, something they are not supposed to have. 0 politicized the U.S. government like Hitler did Germany in the 1930's.
They must be stopped. Convict a few judges, strip them of office and throw them in prison. That last part is essential to send the right message to these thugs: No more!
#MeToo !!!!
For at least a month after the Republican Convention last year, the PATHETIC Ted Cruz STILL wanted Hillary to win. Now Cruz wants DEMOCRAT Doug Jones to win in Alabama, based on a forged yearbook entry.
I’m glad Trump is outing these guys...but it is REALLY UGLY to have to watch.
