I believe there is a "Sweet Spot" (just like there is with anything). Enough regulations to ensure safety and environmental protection WITHOUT hurting business.

I think that big govt. (like it always does)...went past the "sweet spot" a couple of decades back. And the EPA makes "law" (unconstitutionally) by it's regulations.
So we end up with our companies and businesses being ruled over by an unelected group of bureaucrats in the EPA.

I hope Trump reigns that shit in. And like you, I hope he doesn't go TOO far the other way.
But that's the beauty of the vision of the Founding Fathers. We have 3 equal branches of govt. AND we have elections.

If Trump fails at his job...let's kick his ass out in 4 years. If Congress continues to fail...kick their ass out in 2018.
