The Department Of Government Efficiency is going to be busy.<\/p>\n
A new report from the American Action Forum showed that the cost of President Joe Biden\u2019s regulations is a whopping $1.8 trillion, which is even more shocking when juxtaposed to the $1.2 billion spent on President-elect Donald Trump\u2019s regulations during his first term, The Washington Examiner reported.
\nIt\u2019s quite a number,\u201d the director of regulatory policy at American Action Forum, Dan Goldbeck, said of the Biden-Harris figure.<\/p>\n
\u201cBesides breaking the cost burden on America with his regulations, Biden is on a path to bust the record of publishing those rules in the Federal Register, America\u2019s handbook of red tape. According to Clyde Wayne Crews of the Competitive Enterprise Institute, the total this year is already in second place at 89,476 pages,\u201d The Examiner reported.<\/p>\n
In addition to companies, the cost burden has been shared by all Americans in the form of crushing and enduring inflation, which Trump campaigned against.<\/p>\n
Former President Obama holds the current record of 95,894 pages, but President Biden is anticipated to smash that record in the final two months of his administration.
\nAnd some people are requesting that Congress use the Congressional Review Act to eliminate the regulations which, if done using that Act, would stop the same rules from ever being proposed again.<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery Biden-appointed agency head should also be on notice. Any final rules that are rushed through in a lame-duck period can be disapproved under the Congressional Review Act. It\u2019s not just a repeal. It bans the agency from ever issuing a substantially similar rule again,\u201d Federal Elections Commission Chairman Sean Cooksey said on X, formerly Twitter.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne of President Trump\u2019s greatest opportunities next year is to cut the Biden administration\u2019s red tape and to free American people and businesses from the bureaucracy. I expect that President Trump and the Republican Congress will use all the tools at their disposal, including the powerful Congressional Review Act,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Pro-Trump businessmen Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy have officially joined Donald Trump\u2019s administration, according to a statement from the president-elect.
\nTrump announced in a statement on Tuesday that the two would jointly lead the newly established Department of Government Efficiency. Both Ramaswamy and Musk were vocal throughout Trump\u2019s campaign about the need to reduce the size and power of the federal government.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am pleased to announce that the Great Elon Musk, working in conjunction with American Patriot Vivek Ramaswamy, will lead the Department of Government Efficiency [DOGE],\u201d Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.<\/p>\n
\u2018DOGE\u2019 is also a cryptocurrency that Musk has often promoted.<\/p>\n
\u201cTogether, these two wonderful Americans will pave the way for my Administration to dismantle Government Bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure Federal Agencies,\u201d Trump said in a statement.<\/p>\n
The Department of Government Efficiency is not a new government agency. Trump said it will \u201cprovide advice and guidance from outside of government\u201d and \u201cpartner\u201d with the White House and Office of Management and Budget to drive structural government reform, ABC News reported.<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2018This will send shockwaves through the system, and anyone involved in Government waste, which is a lot of people!\u2019 stated Mr. Musk,\u201d the statement continued.<\/p>\n

\nTrump speculated that the effort could become a modern-day version of the \u201cManhattan Project\u201d in terms of its scope, influence, and legacy.<\/p>\n
\u201cRepublican politicians have dreamed about the objectives of \u2018DOGE\u2019 for a very long time. To drive this kind of drastic change, the Department of Government Efficiency will provide advice and guidance from outside of Government, and will partner with the White House and Office of Management & Budget to drive large scale structural reform, and create an entrepreneurial approach to Government never seen before,\u201d Trump wrote.<\/p>\n
\u201cI look forward to Elon and Vivek making changes to the Federal Bureaucracy with an eye on efficiency and, at the same time, making life better for all Americans. Importantly, we will drive out the massive waste and fraud which exists throughout our annual $6.5 Trillion of Government Spending,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey will work together to liberate our Economy, and make the U.S. Government accountable to \u2018WE THE PEOPLE.\u2019 Their work will conclude no later than July 4, 2026 \u2014 A smaller Government, with more efficiency and less bureaucracy, will be the perfect gift to America on the 250th Anniversary of The Declaration of Independence. I am confident they will succeed!\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
