Trump's Swamp Draining: Dismantling Biden's 'Seething' Agenda

Regulating the Unregulated: The Shadowy Power of Guidance

Behind the scenes, Biden's sprawling executive orders fused a sinister agenda into the missions of federal agencies, extending far beyond traditional regulatory channels.

"Regulatory dark matter," in the form of guidance documents, fueled this coercive encroachment, bypassing the scrutiny of public notice-and-comment procedures.

Essential Reformations: Cutting the Dark Matter Off

To dismantle Biden's regulatory machinery, Trump must target both explicit and implicit pathways of control. His latest executive order freezing grants and loans is a critical step, but more permanent overhauls are required.

"Planks" for a Regulatory Cleanup

1. A U.S. Code for Regulatory Dark Matter: Create a centralized repository for guidance disclosures.
2. A Unified Agenda: Integrate guidance into the Regulatory Plan and Unified Agenda for transparency.
3. Operationalization of the Congressional Review Act: Ensure that guidance is subject to congressional oversight.
4. Disregard Administrative Noise: Identify and void unsubmitted and improperly issued guidance.
5. Notice and Comment for Significant Guidance: Codify elements of Trump's EO 13,891 for increased transparency.
6. A REINS Act for Guidance: Require congressional approval of major rules and guidance.
7. Banning Guidance Altogether: Prohibit certain agency guidance in frontier and tech sectors vulnerable to policy manipulation.

Conclusion: Eradicating the Lurking Fear

Trump's efforts to dismantle Biden's "seething" agenda are essential to prevent a resurgence of coercive government control. By addressing regulatory dark matter, cutting off the oxygen of subsidies and grants, and enacting bold reforms, he can ensure that the sprawling bureaucracy does not become a breeding ground for malicious policies.
