Obama’s Environmental Regulation
During his first term, President Obama was widely critized for the number of new regulations which were introduced. Critics attacked the President for introducing regulations that were hampering business and costing jobs.

The report explains that these measures would push up taxes for businesses and individuals, as well as cost jobs.
