| 2018-04-25 |
| h/t Instapundit Acting on President Trump’s demand that his cabinet secretaries gut Obama-era federal regulations, the Treasury Department on Tuesday said it has cut over 300 standing and proposed rules with a focus on the Internal Revenue Service. In a new 20-page report, Secretary Steven T. Mnuchin highlighted the elimination of 305 regulations, including those proposed, and the wiping away of 298 IRS "deadwood" rules. |

| #4 I'm waiting for them to furlough those 15,000 IRS agents that zero said he needed to enforce the new provisions of zerocare. Of course, the APC's, body armor, automatic weapons, sniper rifles, Kevlar helmets and ammo would have to go also. Oh what happened to that bizzillion rounds of ammo that DHS and the IRS bought about three years ago? |

| #2 I'll wait for the details (specific to the IRS) to come out before weighing in; probably over the next week or so, when the details trickle out. |

| #1 Mandatory "Sunset Provision" for New Rules? Certainly for Administrative Law. Make them justify it to the legislative branch and have it codified by Act of Congress or it becomes void after the next 2 year change of Congress. |
