Looks like we're back to "normal" on the DOW.

Probably just cutting some of the regulations they have passed over the past couple of years. I see what they have done on my end with people trying to get a loan to purchase a home. I have seen my work double just writing the homeowners because the closing keeps getting pushed back because of the time it takes to get a loan approved.

So the WH has passed all of these imaginary regulations, in two years, only to spend millions undoing them and wiping them off the books? Do you even believe what you just said?

They are not imaginary regulations unless your saying he has lied to us again. Seeing that some only cause more problems then they help and removing them is actually a good idea not a bad one.

More proof that the regulation boogeyman is more myth than fact.
