Back in February President Trump signed an executive order for regulatory reform directing government agencies to set up task forces to look into ways to eliminate or scale back “job-killing” regulations. This is how Trump described the effort at the time:
“This directs each agency to establish a regulatory reform task force which will ensure that every agency has a real team of dedicated people to research all regulations that are unnecessary, burdensome and harmful to the economy and therefore harmful to the creation of jobs and business. Each task force will make recommendations to repeal or simplify existing regulations.”
“Every regulation should have to pass a simple test: Does it make life better or safer for American workers or consumers? If the answer is no, we will be getting rid of it and getting rid of it quickly. We’ll stop punishing companies for doing business in the United States; it will be absolutely just the opposite, they’ll be incentivized to doing business in the United States. We’re working hard to roll back the regulatory burden so that coal miners, factory workers, small business owners and so many others can grow their businesses and thrive.”
