Good day all. When President Trump returned to office, he brought along Elon Musk. Musk basically created the Department of Government Efficiency. DOGE, as it’s more commonly known, began rampaging through the Deep State bureaucracies and finding billions of dollars in waste and fraud.
While there has been a bit of a falling our between President Trump and Elon Musk, (Which I think President Trump is trying to fix), DOGE is still on the job and working quietly in the background to Make America Great Again. Now they have come up with a tool that uses Artificial Intelligence to go through all the regulations currently on the books with the goal of removing those no longer useful. (Which is almost all of them in my opinion) Here are the details from Newsmax:
DOGE has built an AI tool to accelerate the rollback of federal regulations with the goal of cutting 50%, or 100,000 by January, according to an internal proposal viewed by the Washington Post.
Oh I think they can cut even more. The regulatory state, which really took off under the Roosevelt Administration, has abused every corner of life in the United States. Most of this started under FDR’s “New Deal” and has only gotten worse over time.
A PowerPoint presentation dated July 1 and viewed by the Post estimates approximately 100,000 of those rules could be eliminated through the automated tool with some staff feedback.
Considering that some regulations that are still in force have literally nothing to regulate. The target of the regulation simply doesn’t exist any longer. Others go against the Constitution of the United States and should have been abolished decades ago, if ever allowed to take effect in the first place.
Three employees at the Department of Housing and Urban Development told the newspaper AI had been “recently used to review hundreds, if not more than 1,000, lines of regulations” at that agency.
Details man! We want details! Just what did they find that can be removed from the federal register? Since Newsmax isn’t saying, let’s take a look at the Washington Post article, shall we?
The tool has already been used to complete “decisions on 1,083 regulatory sections” at the Department of Housing and Urban Development in under two weeks, according to the PowerPoint, and to write “100% of deregulations” at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).
The CFPB is a bureaucracy that flat out shouldn’t even exist. It’s duplicative and the way it was set up originally, (I believe there have been a few changes due to court actions), it was absolutely unaccountable to anyone. This nightmare was the brainchild of Senator Elizabeth Warren, (Commie-MA), also known as Big Chief Sitting Bullshit of the Slapahoe tribe. It was set up under Obama and she intended to be the one running things. In one of the very few times Obama did something right, he kept that communist far away from that bureau.
Returning to the Newsmax story:
White House spokesperson Harrison Fields told the Post, “all options are being explored” to achieve the president’s deregulation promises and said “no single plan has been approved or green-lit.”
The work, he added, is “in its early stages and is being conducted in a creative way in consultation with the White House.”
This is not surprising. AI has a bad habit of getting things wrong and it requires a human eye and brain to make sure that it isn’t making things worse.
Fields added: “The DOGE experts creating these plans are the best and brightest in the business and are embarking on a never-before-attempted transformation of government systems and operations to enhance efficiency and effectiveness.”
I won’t be surprised to see this idea attacked by the “Usual Suspects.” Reviewing the Washington Compost article, you can tell they aren’t to happy with the idea of cleaning out old, outdated or unconstitutional regulations. I suspect that the Democrats will throw themselves under the bandwagon in fairly short order and try to stop this project. To be honest, they would rather see AI used to increase regulations. This is early days yet. Let’s see how things look at the end of the year. Still, it’s a good start.
