He did pretty well in his last term by cutting 8 old regulations for every new one instituted. I have no reason not to believe this time won't be even better, with more support and momentum behind him than ever.

He can deregulate all he want, I don't know how this correlates with fixing inflation or getting jobs back. Quite the contrary; you need regulations to respect unions or control rent prices.

What do we have to show for all that deregulation?
