It’s a start
Not certain how reliable the study is but here’s hoping:
President Trump has saved taxpayers more than $86 billion in regulatory costs during his first three months in the White House, according to a new study from a conservative group.

Be nice if it’s true but lets see the results from an independent source.

It is ridiculous to try put numbers on such things. While you may be able to say that my direct cost in “Regulation X” was reduced by X dollars, the fact is that my ability as a businessman to use that money to increase productivity will result in more business activity.
For example; how many businesses never started up in the first place due to regulations, restrictions and tax and licensing requirements? You can never know, but the number is huge. Also; how many businesses failed due to such government interferences? That’s a number that can never be known, but it is also huge.
Get government the fuck out of the way of peaceable, voluntary enterprise, and watch the magic happen. The actual number will thus reveal itself to be in the trillions and trillions (the Laffer Curve is only a part of the larger picture of coercive, government interference, for example, because it only addresses the income tax).
