SUBJECT: PRESIDENT TRUMP SAVES AMERICAN FAMILIES $2,100 EACH BY HALTING COSTLY BIDEN REGULATIONS
Summary
President Biden implemented nearly $2 trillion in new regulations during his tenure, burdening everyday working people and businesses with increased costs. President Trump, upon taking office, halted these proposed rules and initiated a deregulatory agenda aimed at reducing existing regulations for each new agency rule. This move is expected to lower costs, drive growth, and propel America towards prosperity.
- Since assuming office, President Trump has saved Americans over $180 billion, equivalent to $2,100 per family of four, by stopping proposed Biden-era regulations.
- The Biden Administration imposed more than $1.8 trillion, or $21,090 per family of four, in new regulatory costs, surpassing all previous administrations.
- 72% of these new regulatory burdens, totaling $1.3 trillion or $15,457 per family of four, were attributed to new EPA rules.
- Rolling back automobile-related rules alone will result in consumer savings exceeding $1.134 trillion.
- In 2024, the Biden Administration set a record by publishing 107,262 pages of final rules, proposed rules, and public notices in the Federal Register.
- President Trump recently announced a deregulation initiative mandating the elimination of ten existing rules for every new regulation, illustrating his commitment to reducing red tape.
