Mark Meadows (R-NC) released the following statement on President Trump\u2019s speech today at the White House, recapping the Trump administration\u2019s progress in rolling back the regulatory state:\n\u201cToday\u2019s speech from President\u00a0Donald Trump represents the exact kind of culture change Washington, D.C. has desperately needed for so long. The American people are fed up with our government\u2019s out-of-control regulatory state that puts the interests of insiders and bureaucrats ahead of everyday Americans on Main Street. They sent President Trump here to lead the charge in fixing it\u2014and the President is delivering. As OMB Director Mick Mulvaney said, the administration has cut 22 old regulations for every new regulation issued. Business as usual is over.\nPresident Trump is right: \u2018Unchecked regulation undermines our freedom.\u2019 That\u2019s why, in May, I introduced a bill in the House to codify the Presidents directive to eliminate two out of date, unnecessary regulations for every new regulation enacted. This measure would go a long way toward jumpstarting the economy, reforming our government\u2019s approach to regulating, and changing the culture of Washington, D.C. \nThis is what the forgotten men and women voted for. This is draining the swamp. I give the President a standing ovation for this initiative, and I wholeheartedly join him in his effort to \u2018cut the red tape.\u2019\"\nTo read more about Rep.
