President Donald Trump signed an order on Monday that will seek to dramatically pare back federal regulations by requiring agencies to cut two existing regulations for every new rule introduced.
“This will be the biggest such act that our country has ever seen. There will be regulation, there will be control, but it will be normalized control,” Trump said as he signed the order in the Oval Office, surrounded by a group of small business owners.

If it works, I'm for that.

I was reading this morning that the freeze on Obama's regulations will save $181 Billion all by themselves... and slashing 2 regs to get 1 will force the bureaucrats to pick and choose which ones they don't really need.

I love the idea - but yeah, we'll see if it actually works in reducing them. At the very least, it'll stop new regs.
