President Trump Cutting Even More Regulations

By 1600 Staff

President Trump is ramping up to cut even more regulations, this time, through legislation from the Republican congress.

Washington Examiner reports:

House Republicans will make a new push next week to rein in federal rules and regulations that can cost local governments companies millions of dollars each year — 23 years after Republicans first sought to limit unfunded federal mandates. GOP leaders will call up legislation to amend the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995. That law required agencies to try to limit the cost of federal rules on local governments and companies, but Republicans say it has fallen short of its promise over the last two decades, and needs improvement.

For example, the original law required agencies to consider less expensive alternatives to “major” regulations that will impose costs of $100 million or more per year. Republicans say the government has found several ways around that rule. For example, the 1995 law says closer scrutiny of regulations is only required when those regulations are launched with a notice of proposed rulemaking, but a federal report found that about one third of these major rules aren’t launched that way.

The bill, from Rep. Virginia Foxx, R-N.C., would close that loophole and require scrutiny for all major rules, regardless of how they came about. According to a Republican report on the bill, several independent federal agencies are exempt from the original law, but Foxx’s bill would correct that.

President Trump has already cut more regulations than any modern president. With the help of Congress, the president will move to close the loopholes that are protecting even more regulations, if they can reform a Clinton era law. The law must still work it’s way through the Senate, which may obstruct the president like many other of the president’s agenda items.

If President Trump ever gets serious about unnecessary costs for individuals and companies, he will support the Fair Tax. The costs of our “voluntarily” being witnesses against ourselves are enormous.

The survey about Trump supporting Trump is fixed or incorrect. No way 70% of the American people would support the UN plan that people like Pol Pot,Castro, Stalin, and Hitler used to take over their countries and murder 100’s of millions of the people.

It seems that democrat and RINO office holders are not really representatives at all. They are essentially employees of the party but get paid by taxpayers. And a number of govt employees who are hired to implement legislation and budget of congress and the president are also trained by the democrats to implement party desires. They are supposed to be politically neutral . And this patronage/party politics has even seemed into the SC and other court of the judicial branch? Is this a way for them to impose personal political views on the general population? This has been going on for decades, and is a dramatic illustration of what socialism corruption will be all about.

It takes honorable people to do honorable things. In the case of govt and/or business, the party or even church/mosque/synagogue the org it self will not turn pols into honorable people. But anyone can reach deep inside of themselves, realize God is calling them and repent I wonder if any of these people that have become party employees find it easy to live with their treachery? Judas apparently didn’t? Has DC been turned into a modern Sodom and Gomorrah?

Your last sentence is a rhetorical question for sure. Historically, every time anew regulation is forced onto the public it’s only purpose is to collect more $$$. Then either a new unaccountable agency is created or more government civil service employees are hired for an existing agency. The purpose behind most regulations created during the past 30 years has been greed by politicians and government employees.

Thanks Maxx. I’ve noticed over past several decades the agenda of the Democrats is to create more agencies and departments for the purpose of creating more fake jobs. The US Government is bloated with useless jobs. I once heard a woman in my workplace during the Carter administration say, “I wish the government would create more jobs!” Yes, she was a Democrat.

Be interesting to see someone explain how regulations that protect the citizenry from the excesses of the private sector are bad for the nation since the nation is really the people who live here.

Most regulations are generated by people who are neither elected nor effectively controlled. They have used the loophole to enact restraints that do NOTHING to protect anyone — or anything. The only thing they do is add COSTS — which YOU get to pay in higher prices.

No regulation that PROTECTS anyone has been cut, but many that HARM people and companies have been cut. The effort is to force nameless, faceless government minions from acting against We The People without oversight and restraint.

The excesses of the private sector have abated somewhat. Child labor, sweat shops, taxation w/o representation is still here, and new forms of censorship by facebook, Google, and no telling who else. But now we have public excesses by govt. Women’s suffrage and Jim Crow have been eliminated while public beheading of millions of unborn humans just like me and you have not been eliminated Maybe we have party excesses like giving sanctuary places to illegals, and want to flood the nation with amnesty people so they will be available to vote democrat?

Looking Forward to seeing the the Liberal Cash Cows to crash and burn!
It about time we put the Democratic party out of business and restore America as the Constitutional Law and Order Republic that it used to be!
EndEnding the Rules and being more fair to Americans who work hard for the Life they and and giving Seniors, veterans, and the Disabled the. Money they need to survive while cutting the 80% retirement rule would be a BIG Help TO LIFT THOSE GROUPS OUT OF POVERTY!

The others groups like “Couch Potatoes” and welfare Queens will just have to learn how to work like 30 or so hours a week! Fair is Fair!

I have a friend that lives in Malaysia. He is ethnically Chinese and has been in Malaysia most of his life. Old retired people in his country receive support but he says if you walk the streets of any city you will see very elderly people out there every day with cleaning equipment cleaning up the neighborhood. He said they keep it spotless and do this voluntarily. They are not required. They stay very active and involved with the community and are very well respected. And he cautions, don’t let one of these oldsters see you litter. They will come after you, ball you out or even swat you with their brooms and make you pick it up. He says this is part of Malaysian culture.

In USA we pay people to clean up the streets and they grumble that they don’t make $40.00 an hour for doing it. In reality they want job inside an air-conditioned building that pays that amount where all they do is stand by water coolers and blab about what they plan to do at quitting time.

I have sent a note to the President letting him know about this very bad 5-G that is designed to give everyone CANCER and Brain Damage by putting these 5-G antennas very close to peoples homes and schools to give everyone deliberately to give us all CANCER. I am hoping that President Trump will act and stop this attack on our freedom and our right to live.

More info on 5G transmitters. Will cell hones receive this signal? The SST plane exceeded the need for that technology. There is a limit to how far technology needs to go. Driver less cars fit in that category. Are mothers going to send their young children to school in a driver less car that could be stopped by a car with a driver and that driver could kidnap the child? Endless criminal schemes with driver less cars.

Bureaucrats NEVER back down on what they consider to be “good” regulations. No matter how well intended, it remains. IF they are UNCONSTITUTIONAL, they should be repealed. That means NO laws unless they are about interstate commerce, Post office or national defense.

I voted for Trump and support half of what he is allegedly trying to do, but his contempt for our environment is moronic, there is only one earth and only a fool would cause it harm. Environmental protection is #1. We have the technology, but fat, lazy, filthy rich pigs are to cheap and stupid to use it.

I would like to KNOW: do you really actually think this world can be fixed the environment! No, they can not, and that is due to “The LOVE of Money” 1 Tim 6:10 KJV (ONLY) However there will be, in time, a NEW Heaven and a NEW Earth that will come into existance as per 2 Peter3:13 and Rev 21:1KJV Maybe you ought to CONSIDER this: Man will NOT, nor can NOT solve his problems and will never do so w/out GOD’s Intervention! Mn hasn’t solved any real problems of death and sickness and age etc in all time. So what makes you, or anyone think this is any kind of solution! 1 Peter 3:18 KJV

There are tens of thousands of regulations already on the books to protect the environment including the most important one, the Clean Air / Water Act of 1970. No one is proposing doing away with any of these. Do we need to keep piling on thousands more regulations indefinitely into the future? Long ago we passed the point where new regulations generally do more harm than good.

I like this but from my experience with rulemaking, the agency just cooks the books on the economic analysis so as to stay below the magic $100 million.
I would love to see rulemaking either eliminated or completely rewritten. I say this because I have seen rulemaking become a substitute for legislating which means laws are being written by appointees and not by elected officials which in my mind is unconstitutional because it bypasses the voter.

QUITE SIMPLY IF YOU CAN GET LEGISLATION THROUGH CONGRESS WRITE A RULE–NO ONE HAS TO VOTE ON IT AND 99% OF THE CITIZENS DON’T EVEN KNOW ABOUT THE PUBLIC REGISTER AND COMMENTING. FURTHERMORE, 99% OF THE TIME THE AGENCY WILL IGNORE OR DISMISS YOUR COMMENT.
