President Trump is laying the ground work to repair the American economy post COVID-19. To the dismay of the Democrats, of course. Expect a huge level of pro-America policies to be implemented in his second term, which will include bringing the supply chain back to America. However, all of this goes out the window if Joe Biden is elected POTUS in November.
Trump announces executive order aiming to make hundreds of deregulations amid coronavirus permanent
By Fox News, May 19, 2020
Story continues below advertisementPresident Trump announced an executive order Tuesday that aims to make hundreds of deregulations in the age of coronavirus permanent, something that would amount to a massive overhaul of regulatory policy.
“We’ve done far more regulation cutting than any president in history,” Trump said at a Cabinet meeting ahead of signing the order.
Fox News is told the executive order tells regulatory agencies to look at more than 600 regulatory actions — mostly deregulations, but also regulations and guidance — taken during the coronavirus pandemic and tell the White House which ones should be made permanent.
“We had cases where it would take 20 years to build a highway, you had to go through various agencies to get the same permit,” the president said.
“If a bureaucratic rule needs to be suspended during a time of crisis to help the American people, we should ask ourselves if it makes sense to keep at all,” Acting Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Russ Vought told Fox Business.
The order will use emergency authority to figure out the best way to identify which other regulations still in place can be suspended to help jumpstart the economy. It will ask agencies which authorities they have to take action that would lead to putting people back to work, and that list should be sent to the OMB.
“Typically when our country has faced a crisis, Washington responds by grabbing more power. President Trump understands that to get the economy moving, the power needs to be given back to the people and entrepreneur,” Vought said.
The order also relaxes compliance measures overall. Agencies will be told not to over-enforce regulations on small businesses and nonprofits that are doing the best they can.

As an Australian, the annual licensing of professions such as barbers, man/pedicurists, women’s hairsylists, beauticians etc seems to be absolutely absurd in the extreme and little more than a money grabbing exercise by the city/county/state or any combination thereof.
I do believe that these professions should be required to undergo an appropriate length of training to gain the required essential skills but beyond that, as Suresh says “Let the customers decide……”.

Unfortunately, in the United States of America, professional licensing is in the hands of the states. Ergo, the president can do nothing about it.

Change torte laws to LOSER pays then these scumbag lawyers will only take sure thing cases which is probably around 10% or less of the crap we see now. If they have to pay out of their own pockets then it would stop fast.

Why yes. Just come out to wonderful lala CA, and you’ll see just how many licenses this BS state requires to do anything. I’m just waiting for this state and out evil governor to adopt what many european countries have done by requring licenses to have a radio or tv in your home (sound crazy?).

I’ve noticed in areas with no regulations the customers are very sharp at keeping them in line. And they are much more efficient in conducting their business.

From the very outset, Trump’s election victory is like a college football coach taking over a failing program. There is so much he must undo before he can set about instilling a winning culture.

The cost of regulation in the US is nearly 2 TRILLION dollars or about 10% of the GNP! Combine this with the 2 TRILLION dollars illegals drain out of the economy and you have 20% of the GNP being drained from the economy. This would be enough to raise wages across the board by 40%!!! In addition, we could provide free post-high school education and increase SS retirement benefits by 2X. Its all laid out at https://cei.org/10KC/Chapter-3
