One of the things we can do to help pay for it is to get rid of some of the radical regulations that are adding cost to families. It also adds cost to government when you have all these rules and regulations coming out of every federal agency.

Assessments
Scalise did not eliminate federal regulations broadly, so the sweeping promise was not fully delivered. But during the later 115th Congress, he voted for multiple Congressional Review Act resolutions that became public laws nullifying federal rules, including SEC disclosure, stream protection, federal acquisition, and labor recordkeeping regulations. He also voted for the REINS Act, a broader regulatory-control bill that passed the House but failed in the Senate. This supports partial fulfillment with direct candidate effort, not full delivery.
