Thank you, but we have had quite enough of a Progressive Socialist ruling by executive fiat. Time to do the right thing and that is exactly what Trump is doing. Checking off all the right boxes and keeping his election promises despite unparalleled opposition from the deposed party of sore losers.
Correct. Elections have consequences. Example: Gorsuch, and a Conservative SCOTUS majority for a decade or more.

TrumPresident is mainly FIXING BAD RULINGS of Obama by undoing them via Executive Orders – which Obama used to create the current mess.
Tell me more about how terrible regulations are, such as the vehicle safety regulations which give us a safe car instead of a dangerous one — a contrast made crystal clear by crashing a modern U.S. Nissan model into its Mexican equivalent.
Safety regulations are not terrible. Others that create unnecessary barriers to efficient production of goods and services aren’t. The ones targeted for elimination are not targeted randomly.
I hope you don’t manage your business this way…that because you can cite one example (which everyone may or may not agree with), then that must mean ALL regulations are wonderful and great instead of foisted on us by an un-Democratic process and anti-capitalists.
While I believe we can eliminate some outdated, duplicate or useless regulations, this is not the way to go about it. I prefer he give the heads of each agency direction to review and analyze each regulation under their watch and make a determination whether or not there is validity to each. The final determination should include input from industry, consumer protection groups, scientists, and career public servants.
This may take more time and work, but it would be a more thoughtful process. But, then again, we are talking about President Trump who is more concerned about his image and keeping all of his promises in the 1st 100 days than what is best for our country.
2008 and 2012 election consequences have run their course, as of 1/20/17.
NEW Consequences are the only relevant ones. PRIOR consequences of the 2008 and 2012 elections resulted in great injury and suffering by US citizens. Thank God that’s over!
Oh great and the rest of us will just have to survive the next four years to make yet another change so we can realign NEW consequences.

The over/ under in terms of minutes after TrumPresident announces his SCOTUS nominee tonight until Dems start blabbering about him being unfit, biased, corrupt, etc. is probably around 10 minutes – for them to Google for fake stuff on Huff & Puff POSt.
Further, your suggested method is unnecessary if you have an intelligent leader who does the basics of what you suggest by discussing the issue with the experts.
Elongated administrative processes only lead to unnecessary delays.
There is a new sheriff in town, and things will get done quicker so that more things get done over time, to MAGA.
“Intelligent leader”? That one really made me laugh out loud! His first week looked to be a total mess! No need to tell anyone about your changes before implementing them! We all know there is a new sheriff in town. Now I’m just hoping that we still have a country for him to be sheriff of in four years! This clown is looking for a reason to use that little red button. No need to tell the generals because we all know “he knows more about ISIS than the generals.” Disgusting…
Lol, Polar commenting on intelligence. You mean experts like Ben Carson? You can say you like this stupid, extreme approach to policy, hut do not pretend it is serious, thought out or what the people want.
This is a stupid, childish policy by the Republicans. It does not care or address problems, it just seeks to reduce them. What even qualifies as a regulation? Stupid beyond belief, just like the conplaints about laws having to be under 100 pages that conservatives pushed for a while.
Awwww,Yogi learned a couple new words, how cute.Next step, learn what they mean.
An ad hominen attack would go only against the person, intelligence is a valid factor when considering some argumemts, especially if that person’s argument based on intellihence. You claimed the Trump administration is going to be relying on experts, I cited a clear example in Ben Carson, if a person with no qualifications for the position he was given.Not only not an expert, but literally no qualifications.

TrumPolar, some of these dudes still don’t understand that we have a CEO now, not a political hack. Trump is doing all the things we hoped he would and being efficient is high on the list. Businesses across this great land feel like a great burden is being lifted. They can start hiring, expanding and growing their business without the bureaucratic red tape to hold them back.
Your assumption is weak. Things aren’t now getting done quickly with poor results because the POTUS is competent and experienced while BHO was a Community Organizer before becoming a Senator from Illinois for less than a full 6 year term.
Correct; let’s see…. how the SCOTUS will turn Conservative again, starting tonight at 8 pm EST.
Why can’t we just pass a regulation to regulate the regulation of regulations?
Also BHO was an empty suit with a smooth voice and stutters and pauses that stooped fools into thinking he was professorial and all that came from his mouth was golden. Look at the mess. Also, where was the outrage from the left when he acted outside of the constitution?
Republicans elected Trump, they have forfeited the right to talk about intelligence and empty suits.

Actually Ron, we have had 8 years of massive “waste” in the prior administration which has been a huge tax burden to support all these very wasteful regulations. I believe the figure is $181 Billion??? Why not use that savings to balance the budget.
As I said, I have no problem reigning in some regulations and balancing the budget. My problem is that the current administration is trying to solve complex issues with simple solutions.
Let’s see what the debt and deficits look like each of the next 4 years.
Some good sized debt is the result of years of massive regulation which is the hallmark of Progressive rule which wants to naturally control every aspect of our lives. How about we look at GDP, job growth and reduction in the size of government in the next four years? After all, elections have consequences.

Speed over Due Diligence is what got us oBama Care.
Ron,
By asking the various departments to IDENTIFY 2 regulations for elimination for every 1 they want to make a regulation, he is asking them to analyze existing regs.
IMO, the press and Clinton supporters (aka losers of the electoral election) are attacking every and any decision he tries to make, twisting words to make them look bad. For example, restricting access to the USA for people from 7 different countries that are known terrorists hotspots is NOT the same as banning Muslims. However, that is the way it is presented by the press and spread by sore losers. I don’t believe that the border agents will stop a Muslim from Canada from entering the USA. Further, both Obama and Carter did the same thing during their terms as President. No one was protesting then. You know why? Because Republicans have to go to work…
Trump did NOT do the same thing as Obama & Carter.
Obama’s Iraqi visa policy in 2011 did not ban Iraqis from entering the country. Obama’s immigration policy did not treat people with passports from the seven countries as unusually dangerous terrorism threats. Refugees continued to be admitted to the United States during that time, and there was not a single month in which no Iraqis arrived in the US.
Carter explicitly outlined the reasons behind the issuance of sanctions (including visa cancellation for Iranian nationals) and underscored his intent to apply pressure to Iran’s government release American hostages. Carter’s sanctions were applied to Iranian nationals as part of a clear objective to secure the release of the U.S. hostages.
What happens if a regulation is required by the FFA to avoid a new threat to safety? Do we wait until they identify and go through the potentially years long process to determine 2 regulations that are safe to eliminate?
IMO, President Trump brought that upon himself in how he rolled it out. No input from key players or due diligence into what could be the ramifications.
The differences between what President Obama did in 2011 are significant. First, it was a much narrower focus. Second, it was in response to an verifiable threat.
Like I said, President Trump’s actions show that he is far more interested in his image and catering to his supporters than being the president of all Americans. This is extremely dangerous, IMO.
Obama, with his Progressive agenda did a lot of harm to this country. He arrogantly said that Climate Change was the most serious national security threat this country had. Trump is pulling out of the Paris accord and we will be making our own policy from now on. Those Euro countries did not mention China or India at all and they pollute big time.
Although supportive of reducing needless and overbearing regulations, I see this mandate as kind of silly. Creating a new regulation but only if two old regulations are eliminated makes no sense. If we need a new regulation, go through the process and if it is determined it is needed and not overly costly or onerous, then do it. On the other end, if old regulations are bad, just get rid of them. Shouldn’t need a new on to get rid of two old ones. Just get rid of all the bad old ones and separate that from the issuing of new ones.
Dave, getting rid of the bad ones will require a lot of people to review them. The EPA by itself has issued thousands of them, almost all bad. No one is saying get rid of safety regulations if they make sense. Yes, they will all be reviewed and the bad ones dismissed.
I see it as temporary, until the unnecessary regs are deleted.
At some point, regs will be cleaned up to the point that this ruling will have to be ended. But the objective will be met; i.e. reduce compliance costs for regs that do nothing that is necessary.
Regs that remain will have passed the ‘necessary’ test.
Smart, but not completely well explained BY THE LIBITTERAL MEDIA.
Why don’t you send an email to Andrew and tell him not to put any more politically charged stories out? By the way, there is literally nothing that Trump will do that will not provoke the haters. He is off to a fantastic start and is doing what he promised so people should be happy with a President keeping his promises.
It is likely a TEMPORARY policy of IJ, to provide a venue for Libitterals to vent their frustration with the ‘TrumPresidency’.
IJ may want Libitterals to continue to visit this site through their various stages of grief with ‘TrumPresidency’, rather than abandon it in favor of Huff & Puff POSt, NPR, MSNBC, PBS, ABC, CNN, NBC, and CBS for all of their online activity.
IJ is a liberal website putting out stories from the liberal viewpoint. Calling anything Trump a scheme is proof positive. The country needs a lot of work tearing down Progressive Schemes which almost ruined the country in 8 long years.
Only 90 minutes until PresidenTrump’s SCOTUS Justice nominee reveal.
I’m settling at my PC with a bowl of borscht and bottle of vodka, anxiously awaiting the beginning of over A DECADE, perhaps a generation, of Conservative Control of SCOTUS.
There were three very close, so I would imagine Trump told the runner-up to be patient. Ruth Buzzi Ginsberg is 83 and has been caught sleeping during oral arguments and she did say she would move to New Zealand soon. We may have another new justice by June or July. Gorsuch is definitely a keeper with his background and education and track record. Ok Progressives, you are free to downvote at least 100 times.
That makes sense, and is a natural progression from taking short trips to ‘ZZZZZzzzzzz Land’ while at work. :)
Psst; Agent; it’s Ron that is controlling the BOTs, but one other Libitteral may have a version that is outdated but free online. The older one requires more effort and cannot be used for dozens of thumbs down votes like the newer one that isn’t free. My IT guy is a great source of tech 411.

IMO, President Trump brought that upon himself in how he rolled it out. No input from key players or due diligence into what could be the ramifications.
The differences between what President Obama did in 2011 are significant. First, it was a much narrower focus. Second, it was in response to an verifiable threat.
Like I said, President Trump’s actions show that he is far more interested in his image and catering to his supporters than being the president of all Americans. This is extremely dangerous, IMO.
Obama, with his Progressive agenda did a lot of harm to this country. He arrogantly said that Climate Change was the most serious national security threat this country had. Trump is pulling out of the Paris accord and we will be making our own policy from now on. Those Euro countries did not mention China or India at all and they pollute big time.

TrumPolar, these dudes all suffer from Post Trump Stress Disorder, the new PTSD.
Although supportive of reducing needless and overbearing regulations, I see this mandate as kind of silly. Creating a new regulation but only if two old regulations are eliminated makes no sense. If we need a new regulation, go through the process and if it is determined it is needed and not overly costly or onerous, then do it. On the other end, if old regulations are bad, just get rid of them. Shouldn’t need a new on to get rid of two old ones. Just get rid of all the bad old ones and separate that from the issuing of new ones.
Dave, getting rid of the bad ones will require a lot of people to review them. The EPA by itself has issued thousands of them, almost all bad. No one is saying get rid of safety regulations if they make sense. Yes, they will all be reviewed and the bad ones dismissed.
I see it as temporary, until the unnecessary regs are deleted.
At some point, regs will be cleaned up to the point that this ruling will have to be ended. But the objective will be met; i.e. reduce compliance costs for regs that do nothing that is necessary.
Regs that remain will have passed the ‘necessary’ test.
Smart, but not completely well explained BY THE LIBITTERAL MEDIA.
This story has no business being in INSURANCE JOURNAL. i read this to get INSURANCE news, not a political rant.
Why don’t you send an email to Andrew and tell him not to put any more politically charged stories out? By the way, there is literally nothing that Trump will do that will not provoke the haters. He is off to a fantastic start and is doing what he promised so people should be happy with a President keeping his promises.
It is likely a TEMPORARY policy of IJ, to provide a venue for Libitterals to vent their frustration with the ‘TrumPresidency’.
IJ may want Libitterals to continue to visit this site through their various stages of grief with ‘TrumPresidency’, rather than abandon it in favor of Huff & Puff POSt, NPR, MSNBC, PBS, ABC, CNN, NBC, and CBS for all of their online activity.
This article lost me at “Scheme”! Come on Jennifer and Todd…at least try and look neutral.
IJ is a liberal website putting out stories from the liberal viewpoint. Calling anything Trump a scheme is proof positive. The country needs a lot of work tearing down Progressive Schemes which almost ruined the country in 8 long years.
Only 90 minutes until PresidenTrump’s SCOTUS Justice nominee reveal.
I’m settling at my PC with a bowl of borscht and bottle of vodka, anxiously awaiting the beginning of over A DECADE, perhaps a generation, of Conservative Control of SCOTUS.
It’s Gorsuch.
Schmucky Schumer immediately trashed him, making me like Gorsuch even more.
Na Zdrowie, Comrades!
I wonder now when, and with which Conservative Justice, TrumPresident will replace Ruth Buzzi Ginsberg?
There were three very close, so I would imagine Trump told the runner-up to be patient. Ruth Buzzi Ginsberg is 83 and has been caught sleeping during oral arguments and she did say she would move to New Zealand soon. We may have another new justice by June or July. Gorsuch is definitely a keeper with his background and education and track record. Ok Progressives, you are free to downvote at least 100 times.
She may be moving to New Zealand soon?
That makes sense, and is a natural progression from taking short trips to ‘ZZZZZzzzzzz Land’ while at work. :)
Psst; Agent; it’s Ron that is controlling the BOTs, but one other Libitteral may have a version that is outdated but free online. The older one requires more effort and cannot be used for dozens of thumbs down votes like the newer one that isn’t free. My IT guy is a great source of tech 411.
Why would anybody gleefully revel in another country interfering with our election? Disgusting
How did that fact checking work out for Hilliary?
What country interfered? Are you referring to one or all of the countries donating to the Clinton Crime Family Foundation for influence purchase?
Or, are you referring to interference with the campaign hopes of Dirty Grandpa from Vermont through George Sore-ass funding Hillary’s PACs?
Please clarify, Comrade!

TrumPolar, these dudes changing their moniker to post hate will not silence the Conservatives no matter how many times they down vote. The key for me was to see Ron get upvoted 30-40 times shortly after he posted when he never used to do it. Everybody here knows who these guys are and what they are about. By the way, they are stealing from their employer posting all day on this forum.
actu; my IT guy is locating your IP address as you use your BOTs apps… want to hear from IJ’s staff? Keep BOTTING and you’ll receive an email or letter.
I assume you mean, “actually”.I do not use a bot, and I never have. What you claim you are doing is called doxxing, and it is illegal, for you, your IT guy, and your company if done with their equipment. If you are employed by IJ it may be illegal too. I have reported you and will follow up, I encourage others to do the same.
Hi actu!
I have reported you and encourage others to do the same.
factchecker,
You are exactly write, what he has stated he has done is illegal and faces criminal penalty. I wonder if IJ will handle it or if you need to escalate the matter.
*exactly right
Because Hil-liar-y is not POTUS.

Maybe the people on here that voted for Hillary and Obama need to focus on these lost democratic seats: 13 Senate seats, 64 House seats, 13 Governorships and 33 State houses.
Clearly, something is wrong with your party.
These dudes still think we have a Democracy and believed Obama and Hilliary who kept repeating it ad nauseum. Trump won 33 states and many of the swing states switched sides. Good for America. It is all turned around now.
Well, some said getting rid of regulations is not so easy to do. Hide and watch the destruction of the Administrative State. It is going on with every department and agency as we speak. That is a good thing.
