When a lib is "disturbed" you know what's been said is the correct thing.

Reasonable people would agree that some regulations are duplicative, outdated, or truly overly burdensome. The vast majority of us would agree that reducing that kind of burden on business is a worthwhile goal. Throwing the baby out with the bathwater, however, is an incredibly dangerous thing.
And here lies the problem.
(a) "Reasonable" is a subjective term. Is it reasonable for LGBT groups to be protesting in support of Muslim nations whichif they visited said countries, they would be absolutely arrested if they openly admitted their affiliation with the LGBT community while in said countries? I think not, yet there they were en masse. Is it reasonable for the MSM to embark on a constant barrage of insult-after-insult articles with miss-leading information in an effort to destabilize the Trump administration? I think not, yet apparently many other people think it is reasonable. Is it reasonable for the President of the United States to constantly utilize 140 characters or less to communicate every time he gets his feelings hurt? I think not, yet many on this website and in the country disagree.
So -- when you want to discuss Reasonable -- such a thing no longer exists in this society of disdain for the left and hatred for the right. All forms of reasonableness have been eliminated. "Liberalism is a disease." "All conservatives are racists Misogynist." We talk in extremes. We debate in extremes. We "protest" in extremes. Reason is dead.
(b) Due to the death of Reason, and the fact that it doesn't matter what part of the bath water you want to throw out -- SOMEONE will be pissed and claim "you're throwing out the baby! you're throwing out the baby!!". It doesn't matter in this day and age what President Trump tries to accomplish -- the Left has spoken loudly and often... and every-time they speak, they are yelling, "We don't care how much of a failure you are... we don't care how much good you actually could accomplish, we will scream "you're throwing about the baby!" any and every-time you want to do something."
So, people like you, Draconian Sanctions, and others such as Hugo et. al. (and especially the thousands of morons continually protesting about "literally Hitler" bullshite -- are actually leading the need for Trump taking the actions that he is taking.
Reason is gone. And every-MFing-body's babies are going to get thrown out with the bath water. This will be both necessary and tragic.
Yes, there will be some negative repercussions to his actions both domestic and abroad. But in the end, the country will be in a better standing in both regards. At least, that is my reasonable hope.

I somewhat agree with your point, except it sounds like you're saying "what difference does it make."
That it what is dangerous. When our government gets so big and our waste so extreme, that we say "what difference does it make" when efforts are made to cut waste and bloat, we are lost.
I don't mean to imply that it makes no difference...we must watch ourselves and the bastards we elect are they will do some pretty stupid shite...
Progressive movement is the only way society will ever evolve...anything else is devolving...man has been getting more and more liberal and will continue to do so forever....

yes, Libertarianism as practiced today is terrible because all any of them are striving for is having their stamp of approval on every vestige of our society as it exists today...the fact that it exists is not enough...all libertarians want to dismantle and do it all over again, in toto.....talk to any of them long enough and ask them how they would handle first one issue then the other and they will explain how they would recreate our society in its totality right down to the last piece of paper and last regulation...they wouldn't leave anything unchanged it would just take them a couple of thousand years to get right back where they started....

Sounds like progressivism

the term progressive is nothing more than a Madison Avenue packaging of warmed over communism! Frauds!

You have no idea what Bannon is really talking about....because you're an idiot.

Stop being retarded. You know he is not going to abolish the EPA. But I would be concerned if I were a climate change "scientist."

wholesale elimination of Federal agencies that ensure we receive such things as clean air, clean water, fair labor laws, fair housing standards, anti-discrimination laws, financial regulations, food and drug safety, national education standards, health care standards, etc.
I think this is the best way I can graphically show you how this comes across...

Ha! That is some funny shite right there. Just in the last day or two we're trying to tell States that the Fed will enforce marijuana laws while allowing States to "dicktate" bathrooms.
Small government is a great premise when its applied equally but divisive when its selectively applied. I don't understand why this premise just can't be grasped.

This is a perfect example of a Federal agency going off the charts, HUD: the gated apt complex I live in is upscale & well maintained. This week the 200+ residents got a note from mgt that it would be changing all the door knobs on the front doors from round door knobs to levers, as round door knobs are too difficult to handle for some handicapped people. Same principal applies to all the round faucet handles in the bathrooms & kitchens. Some idiot in D.C. actually came up with this idea & got regulations passed under Obama to mandate these changes.

Hey buddy! Have downvote #238!!! You are putting words is his mouth! Quit mixing facts of what he said with your opinion, and then representing your opinion as fact B/C you idiotically linked the two.

SO allowing the federal government to dictate it for everybody instead is "smaller" government?
Liberals started that shite.
5 years ago even idiots knew that dicks go in one bathroom and vags go in the other.
Now all of a sudden it is confusing, with the federal govt under obama forcing the entire country to adhere to their view. Trump is undoing that
