One of the first things President Trump did to stimulate the economy was to remove harmful regulations that left our small banks, energy companies and other businesses treading water to stay afloat.

We need responsible regulations, not regulations that have gone wild. For example, the EPA has a rule that is going to be implemented Jan. 1, 2012, where they’re going to begin to regulate dust. That’s right, dust. It’s called PM 2.5. That is focusing on the wrong thing.

To process and close models in 50 states and 2,000-plus counties with the myriad of, just, tens of thousands of different regulations, customs, vendors – it’s a monster. So the only way to do that is with technology. It really is rocket science.
The regulations keep on coming. And we are trying to make decisions that we will be happy with for decades.

It’s time to roll back superfluous governmental regulations and limit government to its sole task: safeguarding the rights of its citizens.
The public has every right to see Robert S. Mueller III’s conclusions. Absolutely nothing in the law or the regulations prevents the report from becoming public. Indeed, the relevant sources of law give Attorney General P. William Barr all the latitude in the world to make it public.
Experience tells us that we do not need more overspending or higher taxes to grow jobs. We do not need more regulations or more government control – such as the government takeover of health care or the restrictions in domestic energy production.

I support greater access to the Internet, but going back to Obama-era regulations is not the answer.
I frankly think we in the financial service world believe we need appropriate kinds of regulations. No question about that. But when something like Dodd-Frank has been created, sort of in the mystery of night, it is a huge document. It’s vast. It weighs about 10 pounds when I carry it around.
