Trump is Cleaning Up Obama's Regulatory Abuses

[Geee]

Real Clear Politics

For eight long years the Obama-EPA was a fun house for left wing ideologues and climate alarmists that protest the use of toilet paper. Regulations were printed faster than Xi Jinping prints renminbi. And sadly, reworking eight years of junk science is proving more difficult than originally thought.

A great example and case study of this past abuse is the glider truck. For those not familiar, a glider truck is a new cab-chassis with a remanufactured engine and transmission. These engines and transmissions are remanufactured by some of our nation’s biggest companies like Cummins and Eaton. Together the completed truck is known as a glider and sells for less than a new truck.

In the waning months of the Obama presidency the EPA decided to regulate these trucks as “new” using the new motor vehicle authority. This was the first time in over a half-century that gliders were ever considered “new” — in fact other federal agencies and states specifically refer to these trucks as not new.
