  • During a March 2012 interview, Rick Santorum said, "The president has put forward more regulations that cost the economy more than 100 million dollars, than any president in history last year. On day one (if elected president), I will rescind every one of those regulations. Some will have to be replaced, but a lot of them we can repeal and completely change the attitude of Washington toward the business community."[2]
  • In a 2012 op-ed in The Wall Street Journal, Santorum described the 10 main initiatives of his "Economic Freedom Agenda," which he said he would implement if elected president. He wrote, "All Obama administration regulations that have an economic burden over $100 million will be repealed, including the Environmental Protection Agency rule on CO2 emissions that's already shut down six power plants. I'll review all regulations, making sure they use sound science and cost benefit analysis."[3]
