In six months, Reagan aides reviewed or delayed 181 federal rules, predicting $18 billion in one time relief and about $6 billion annually. The task force, led by Vice President Bush, pushed cost benefit testing despite the Supreme Court limits, cutting new rules by half and targeting auto industry costs and other standards to stimulate the economy.

Reagan Era Moves to Limit Federal Regulation
Kilpatrick argues a turning point in regulation: the number of major agencies remains constant at 56 while budgets grow slowly in real terms. Since Reagan’s 1981 start, over 180 rules have been killed or modified and net benefit analyses are ordered for major proposals, signaling a shift toward less burdensome governance.
