    That statement is wrong. The correct answer is......"Get rid of TEN OTHERS!"

    Someone did that...

    The following is the full text of the executive order signed by President Trump for reducing federal government regulations.

    THE WHITE HOUSE


    Office of the Press Secretary

    For Immediate Release January 30, 2017

    EXECUTIVE ORDER


    - - - - - - -

    REDUCING REGULATION AND CONTROLLING REGULATORY COSTS


    By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the Budget and Accounting Act of 1921, as amended (31 U.S.C. 1101 et seq.), section 1105 of title 31, United States Code, and section 301 of title 3, United States Code, it is hereby ordered as follows:

    Section 1. Purpose. It is the policy of the executive branch to be prudent and financially responsible in the expenditure of funds, from both public and private sources. In addition to the management of the direct expenditure of taxpayer dollars through the budgeting process, it is essential to manage the costs associated with the governmental imposition of private expenditures required to comply with Federal regulations. Toward that end, it is important that for every one new regulation issued, at least two prior regulations be identified for elimination, and that the cost of planned regulations be prudently managed and controlled through a budgeting process.

    Source- FULL TEXT: Read Trump's executive order for cutting government regulations

    Note: This is only the 1st paragraph of Trump's EO for cutting regulations, the rest is available at the link.

    Don't worry though, we've been saved...

    Saw a new no truck sign in Mississippi. It is a sign with the $1000. Dollar fine, then a little skinny image of a truck. They should be billed A $1000 for not putting the sign out on the riad, so you don't turn..
