shows the general caliber or the right wingers..

Nice work TD...

What meaningful regulations has he cut. Firing everybody in the EPA that had anything to do with C*****e C****e. Firing 12 of the top state department career diplomats at the State Department, fired the 4 career officials that were negotiating with the North Koreans, Allowing internet providers to sell you're information without you're consent. Give me one piece of meaningful regulations that he has cut.

All we do is deal with numbers no substance we have no idea what any of it means but Trump supporters love it. They love a number not the intent of the regulations.

Trump sweeping EO get rid of complicated and unnecessary regulation. No text just get rid of regulations.

Obama attempted in his second State of the union address to require Congress to undertake sweeping regulatory reform and they never did. Now That there's a republican in the White House they are addressing regulatory reform, but they are not doing it thru committee they do it in private and the American people have no idea what there doing. But for 8 years under Obama they refused to address regulatory reform so Obama had no choice but to address it with EO and then the right wing whines. Is that not just a little hypocritical.

But if Congress refused to undertake reform we end up with regulations dating back to Reagan that are still the rule of law so it's not just the left it's also a right wing problem that has created all this massive regulations. Add up all the EO's on regulations put into effect by the last 6 presidents, hundreds are still the rule of law. But the right wing is very good at controlling the narrative and just blame the left for regulations.

I do agree with less regulations smaller smarter government but I have no idea what Trump is cutting except for numbers but how do these numbers effect our country.

The biggest problem I have with Trump supporters is you get wrapped up in number of regulations not the text of the regulations. So how can you have a reasonable Debate as to who benefits from this deregulation and who gets hurt. So let's get some text I am sure there's good deregulation and bad deregulation.

One of my major concerns is his massive cuts to the EPA, his elimination of all scientific data on greenhouse gases compiled over the last 30 years. Given his director of the EPA the authority to eliminate any regulations he sees fit without congressional oversight.

Writing a EO requiring elimination of at least 2 rules for every new regulation giving cabinet heads the aturithy to eliminate rules and regulations that they see as restricting. No data no idea what they are eliminating. By law Congress is the only ones to undertake regulatory reform not a cabinet heads.

Trump writes an EO reorganization no text no recommendation nothing and the EO does nothing except to give cabinet officials the authority to fire career professional other than that the EO means nothing but it's another number but right wingers love numbers.

Trump thru an EO changed Franchising and independent contracting but no text. What does it mean not even identifying the cabinet official that has the authority to eliminate laws.
I always thought Congress makes these laws it's the responsibility of the Executive Branch to enforce these laws not signing an EO to eliminate them. The president has the authority to add but not eliminate laws created by Congress.

Obama wrote EO's adding regulations (Constitutional) Trump is writing EO's to eliminate regulations without identifying what he is eliminating or if they were passed by Congress that's (Un-Constitutional) this country right now has no idea what he is doing.

Trump EO 70% of regulations must go, what regulations is he referring to. It's just a number but Trump supporters just assume that Trump is doing the right thing and have no idea what his cabinet officials are doing. Just get rid of 70%.

Don't get me wrong this country needs sweeping reform of regulations Obama tried but Republican lead Congress refused to address this problem. There are thousands of regulation that are outdated. We need the General Accountability office on duplication and the Congressional committee of Oversight and government reform to address this issue not a cabinet official. Why is Trump not setting up his own advisors and cabinet officials to write a bill of sweeping reform of each agency and send it to Congress. Jared Kushner was suppose to lead this group in the White House but this kid has done nothing but hold the title.

Every incoming president has the authority to write EO's of not changing laws but adding regulations. When a new President comes into office he has the authority to rescind these EO's not changing laws. But having no idea what he is doing I have a problem with that.

I don't agree with EO without congressional approval with a 50% majority v**e and eliminate the ability of Congress to filibuster a Executive order. E******ns have consequences and the president and Congress should have some leeway in EO's.

We have some 40,000 pages of regulations this is absurd. Why not take those pages and extract each regulation and turn it over to the cabinet heads to red line the good and bad regulations along with the negatives and positives of each regulation. Then submit it to senate majority leader and the Leader of the house to turn these regulations over to the committee that is responsible for there specific issues. Hold the committe meetings call in professionals for testimony, and at least attempt to get rid of good and bad regulations. There's positives and negatives to each EO written let's lift the most restrictive EO's let's lift the regulations that are causing the problems for corporate and small business. But let's address the problem by using the Congressional process instead of back room legislation and bring it to a v**e using reconciliation. I could not believe that the ACA repeal was being done by the right wing in a Senate back room without any committee meeting and brought to the floor under reconciliation that is absurd and it sets a bad precedent for for how Congress works. John McCain was absolutely correct with his no v**e he is a man that stood up and had the balls to say a bill that effects so many people should go thru the congressional process with committee meetings proper professional testimony and then bring it to the floor for a v**e. Not a back room deal with 11 republicans writing a law, is not how our government is suppose to work.

But I would be very much interested in you're thoughts. You seem to have a ideological belief that I can respectfully disagree with but I support you're ideology even if I disagree.
