‘Cut Red Tape Coalition’ Piling Up Deregulation Wins While Flying Under Washington’s Political Radar
2020-06-26
Key bit:
[EpochTimes] Club For Growth (CFG) President David McIntosh says there is deep, bipartisan public support for the deregulation being sought by the coalition.

He cites an April CFG survey of 1,000 likely voters by WPA Intelligence that "found 66% support and 34% oppose Congress giving President Trump the authority to waive costly regulatory requirements on American businesses in order to speed the economic recovery from the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
epidemic. This has the support of 91% of Republicans, 62% of Independents, and 45% of Democrats."

Trump is constantly criticized for his controversial Twitter posts, but McIntosh, who worked on deregulation issues for then-Vice President Dan Quayle, sees a tactical plus for the coalition there.

"Everything you did of this nature was going to end up on the front page of The Washington Post," he said, "but with Trump, they’re covering whatever he’s tweeting about, and the agencies can go about their business and not be panicky that they’re not going to be hauled in to explain why they got bad press."
