Trump signs sweeping new de-regulation written apparently by Little Billy.

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.

Trump EPA, "So the good news is we're going to regulate your towns arsenic levels in your drinking water"

Townfolks, "Yah!"

Trump EPA, "The bad news is we're going to have to stop regulating the lead and perchlorate levels to do it. Good luck."

This is the sort of logic a per-schooler has.

The Republicans want to take us back to a time when companies could take whatever they wanted, trash the environment without consequences and work their employees 12-16 hours per day, six days per week. Basically a new Gilded Age ...
