Under Trump, focus shifts to scrapping regulations

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Federal agencies have shifted their focus under the Trump administration from writing regulations to getting rid of them. 

In just the past few days, the Education Department said it is working to redo two Obama-era rules aimed at reining in for-profit colleges, the Food and Drug Administration indefinitely delayed new rules to overhaul nutrition facts labels and the Consumer Product Safety Commission asked the public to suggest ways it can reduce the burdens and costs of its existing rules.

President Trump said during the campaign that “70 percent of regulations can go,” and he quickly issued a moratorium on new rules after taking office, bringing the work of regulators to a halt.

Though it’s typical for a new administration to issue a regulatory moratorium, what came next was unusual. 

Republicans used the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to overturn regulations that the Obama administration had finished in its waning days. The law gives Congress 60 legislative days to repeal a rule after it’s been finalized. Before this year, the law had only been used once to scrap a regulation.

1. They all hate regulations until something terrible happens to them personally

then they do a 180. It is always like this we these self absorbed bastards.

3. Regulations on the Federal level are minute compared to the state regulations....

I am an office manager for electrical contractors...and wooh! I might as well move in next to the state capitol...I kid you not.

Everyone of our electricians have to be licensed through the state with continuing education. In addition, when we do a job or project, we have to submit and pay for a permit from that local. And each locale has different requirements, so we have to be up on thousands of rules. If the state or specific locale officers check up on our guys and find we don't have certain criteria...such as safety vests, don't have their elec license on them, has one bandaid missing from their first aid kit....the inspectors can and do shut us down...right there...until we make it right. These are only small examples that we have to abide by.

Now, let's look at unemployment insurance...that is at the state level...and wow, to do a quarterly report is exhausting and then pay the bill. SUTA in addition can come and check personal files if they have any complaints.

Next, we have to be registered with the state...as a corporation to the Sec of State and as a liable business through Department of Work Development. And there are 50.00 fees with exhausting reports to be submitted annually with each.

Then we have sales tax which we have to charge customers, keep track of and then pay quarterly to the state with an exhausting report.

Have I mentioned any federal regulations yet? That is because 75% of business regulations are coming down the pipe from the state level, not the federal. So, when Dump is advocating he is deregulating....I think...deregulating what? He is going to come to my state capitol and remove all these rules and regulations? And I want to mention that our governor has been a Rub for the last 8 years and if anything, I have seen more rules and regulations applied!
