Project 2025 includes measures to roll back regulatory protections and reduce social welfare programs.

Question

Accepted Answer

Project 2025 calls for repealing hundreds of regulations protecting workers, consumers, and the environment. Trump's first term attempted a "two-for-one" rule requiring agencies to eliminate two regulations for every new one—exactly as Heritage recommended. The Administrative Procedure Act makes rule repeals difficult, requiring agencies to justify why eliminating protections serves the public interest. Project 2025 proposes ending this requirement, letting presidents delete rules without justification. This exposes the conservative strategy: when laws block deregulation, change the laws governing how rules get made.
