President Trump has saved taxpayers more than $86 billion in regulatory costs during his first three months in the White House, according to a new study from a conservative group.

The American Action Forum (AAF) points to several Obama-era regulations that Trump has either rolled back on his own or with the help of Republican lawmakers using the Congressional Review Act (CRA

These are just a few examples mentioned in the report. Since taking office, Trump and Congress have repealed 13 rules with the CRA. The CRA allows lawmakers to overturn recent rules they disapprove of with a simple majority in Congress, and send the action to the president for his signature.

“Just as there are fiscal costs for new significant rules, there can be savings from repealing old rules through comprehensive regulatory reform,” said Sam Batkins, director of regulatory policy at the AAF.







Dear Progs, Dems, Libs, and Commies,


You're Welcome.

Republicans create studies that say their actions have positive impact....no way

Many people don't understand that regulations are hidden taxes.

So basically Trump tax cuts have already begun.

From the "study"

quote:

BACKGROUND Congress has already passed 13 CRA resolutions, repealing more than $1.1 billion (annually) in past regulations from the Obama Administration. In addition, President Trump has formally delayed and signaled an intention to amend several other major rules. Combined, these actions could generate more than $18 billion in annual regulatory savings for businesses, investors, and consumers.

The regulations that Congress and the administration repealed also carried fiscal impositions, in addition to private-sector regulatory costs. For this research, AAF examine the possible spending implications of regulations repealed via the CRA or delayed formally by the administration.


The bolded parts of the second section of the entire study prove that this is just wildly optimistic guesses by an organization who's purpose for existing is to make Republicans look better.

I didn't even need to see the math.

I didn't defend the study.

I merely observed that what you wanted was available.

Ok, thanks all is forgiven.....to include the cost of weekly travel to Maralargo, the Wall, and the much needed tax break for the rich. You're a hero.
