$181 billion in Obama regulations frozen, more coming

WaExaminer:

President Trump, moving fast to freeze and stop last minute regulations jammed through by former President Obama, has already stopped rules that would have cost businesses and taxpayers $181 billion.

According to a new analysis, Trump’s actions began on Inauguration Day and had the added benefit of saving 5.5 million hours in paperwork.

American Action Forum’s Sam Batkins said, “It is standard operating procedure for a new president to take stock of the existing regulatory landscape. What was extraordinary was that the previous administration had $181 billion in regulatory burdens, 16 billion-dollar rules, and millions of hours of new paperwork pending in the system. It’s unlikely the regulatory freeze lasts for longer than a few months, but it’s a certainty that the administration will scrutinize all pending major rules and determine those that adequately protect public health and safety and those that could harm economic growth.”

  1. I’m hearing so many unsettling things about the childish Dems, out-of-control progs, muzzies, etc., And I find myself not worrying so much about it because I know Mr. Trump knows what to do and he will take care of everything.

    The media may make it sound like he’s losing (they wish!), but he isn’t. He’s taking care of business big time.

    Today our President went to Dover AFB to be with a family at one of their saddest times and he honored the return of a fallen hero.

    Remember when families would ask that Obama NOT come take part because it was just photo opportunity and publicity for him — and Obama came anyway, dragging along anyone with a camera. So glad that is behind us.

    Thank You, God, for so many reasons, for giving us President Trump. Keep him safe and strong.

  2. President Trump may have saved $181Billion by stopping this obamaBS but how much did Zero cost us by petulantly writing these last minute regs knowing full well that they would be trashed? He really set the bar for no-good MFers.
