Watchdog warns Biden can install $2T BBB through regulations
by Paul Bedard, Washington Secrets Columnist
December 20, 2021 08:56 AMIt was an unusual promise for a presidential candidate to make, but it drew applause from supporters when Donald Trump pledged to kill two federal regulations for every new one he offered.
In office, he didn’t forget the promise and pressed his Cabinet secretaries to cut. At one point, they were cutting a dozen Obama-era regulations for every new Trump rule, slashing red tape and potentially costs to taxpayers along the way.
The administration was so proud of its deregulation that Trump posed with a sky-high stack of regulations representing those he had killed, and his team added a new line to an annual report card that showed how many rules had been eliminated.
But under the Biden administration, that effort has died.
