President Trump has saved taxpayers more than $86 billion in regulatory costs during his first three months in the White House, according to a new study from a conservative group.
The American Action Forum (AAF) points to several Obama-era regulations that Trump has either rolled back on his own or with the help of Republican lawmakers using the Congressional Review Act (CRA).
Study: Trump has eliminated $86B in regs
Remember the whole point of Obama et.al. was to make the costs of doing business so prohibitive the businesses would go bankrupt.
Remember these comments?
Obama wanted to bankrupt 1,400 companies, that pay $100 billion a year in taxes and unemploy 450,000 people that work for these companies! (Obama told us he favored a "single payer health system... so what happens to the above?)
" if somebody wants to build a coal plant, they can – it’s just that it will bankrupt them.” (Pretty easy way of increasing unemployment.)
"I prefer higher gas prices". (And Obama signed 40% fewer Federal oil lease exploration then Bush).
Trump will never tell a foreign country such as "Brazil to develop oil and that the USA will be their best customer"!
"Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket." (That certainly puts a dent in the pocketbook..._
Trump will never tour the world tearing America and Americans down as Obama did his first year... just so he could travel!
Trump like most of us understand that the more the government attaches rules and regulations the more
costs to the company,especially smaller companies which put these smaller companies at a disadvantage.
One recent survey, released just in time for Donald J. Trump's inauguration, dropped this eye-popping number: at least $12,000 a year.
And you don't even want to know what a start-up spends on regulations in its first year.
However, I'll tell you anyway — a whopping $83,019.
These figures come from the first-ever Small Business Regulations Survey, conducted by the National Small Business Association, which of course makes it its business to reduce the regulatory burden on small businesses. Among other conclusions, the survey found that 44 percent of businesses spend at least 40 hours a year dealing with federal regulations, and 29 percent spend at least that much on state and local rules. Three-quarters of business owners say that they have spent time reading proposed rules at least once, and of these, not quite two-thirds discover that more than half the time, the rules they've read wouldn't apply to them. About 40 percent of respondents claim that they have held off making a new investment because of a regulation at some point in the past.
Twenty-two percent of the business owners found the Obamacare's regulations somewhat burdensome, and 43 percent found it very burdensome. Yet the overwhelming majority of the respondents — 82 percent of them — have 20 or fewer employees. And if a business owner needs to know one thing about the Affordable Care Act, it's this: if you have fewer than 50 employees, the Affordable Care Act does not apply to you, at all.
The $83,000 Question: How Much Do Regulations Really Cost Small Businesses?
