HEY, MASSIVE DEREGULATION WORKED FOR POSTWAR GERMANY, AS I’VE MENTIONED: Trump urged to kill regulations stalling war on coronavirus, economic recovery.

President Trump is being urged to double down on his deregulation efforts and erase massive Obama-era red tape, including those slowing the fight against the coronavirus.

In a new battle plan for the White House, a stepped-up war on regulations includes a moratorium on additional rules, widespread elimination of others, and emergency “sunset” deadlines on those blocking a speedy economic recovery.

“If Congress can spend to stimulate, Washington can also deregulate to stimulate,” read the blueprint drawn up by regulatory expert Clyde Wayne Crews, the vice president for policy and a senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute.

“Given partisan discord, we have to be realistic and recognize that the sweeping ‘deregulatory stimulus’ that is needed now as an alternative to unlimited-spending stimulus will not be fully adopted by Congress. That means there need to be more unilateral moves by President Trump to streamline regulation,” he added in the report provided to Secrets.

Trump has led in the war on regulations, far exceeding his 2016 campaign promise to eliminate two Obama-era regulations for every new one.

But Crews said that the president can do more by executive action to kill red tape stalling the efforts to slow the coronavirus fight and revive the economy.

It’s a national emergency. Cut the red tape. We’ve already seen, at both the state and federal levels, that we can live without it.
