White House wants Suggestions – from FreedomWorks
Right now, the White House has a form that you can fill out that allows you to suggest how you would make the ...federal government better, including which agencies you'd like to eliminate!
.
This form is open until 11:59 pm THIS Monday, June 12, 2017. According to Regulations.gov, it has only received 300 entries, which is extremely small compared to many other comment periods.
I strongly encourage you to fill this out and make your voice heard and SHARE with your friends and family. Listed below is a link as well as 5 reform suggestions the FreedomWorks Foundation will be submitting. Feel free to copy these suggestions and add your own.
.
Thank you.

Foundation Reform Suggestions:
All new regulations (excluding rule-changes that repeal existing regulations) should include sunset/review provisions.
All applications for federal permits (think Keystone XL) should be subject to time limits. If after X-amount of days a decision is not made, the permit should automatically be approved. (6th amendment guarantees right to speedy trial to criminals, why should law-abiding citizens be forced to wait?)
All Cost-Benefit analysis data and methods should be public records and should only consider PRIMARY effects on regulated entities, not "co-benefits." (EPA has frequently used this tactic to justify their most expensive regulations)
End Ex-Post Facto Regulation. Agencies may not justify previous actions based on rule-changes made after they take an action.
Streamline public petitioning for rule-changes through the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA). (currently petition requirements and submission centers are disparate among the various agencies)--
Requirements for cost benefit analysis on significant rules should apply to all federal rulemaking bodies, including independent agencies.
Establish risk-based priorities when developing agency regulatory agendas. Agencies should have to allocate their resources only to those activities that present a real, identifiable threat to the public.
Cost-benefit and risk assessment analyses and decisions should be included in the rulemaking file for purposes of judicial review.
Enact a regulatory budget that would require agencies to keep regulatory costs within limits established for specific agencies and the government as a whole, much like a budget establishes limits on spending.
