But even as the Trump administration ramps up "zero-tolerance" policies against street crimes and immigration, it has gone soft on enforcement policies that protect Americans from lawbreaking corporations.
"Corporate Impunity," a new Public Citizen report, finds that in 11 of 12 agencies led by a Trump administration official for most of 2017, total monetary penalties imposed on corporate violators plummeted.
At the Department of Justice (DOJ), penalties against corporate offenders plunged by 90 percent.
At the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), all civil penalties plunged more than 94 percent.

So much winning for the blue collar worker, it's almost heart warming to see how they've leveled the playing field for main street America.

(11,885 posts)Is a DOJT where he is the judge, jury , and executioner, and can go after anyone who refuses him on anything. That means he can do whatever corruption without consequences for it, or like Putin has done in russia, and looks to me like putins got him in his pocket now to promote this even more. Putins got him under control , and now focusing on members of Congress. They could care less about the American workers , as his supporters are realizing now, and the American people while they funnel more of our money to the wealthy to them as a bribe to back him, and help keep him out of prison. He's destroying all regulations for corporations and workers for the Koch brothers , and putin. His supporters better wake up to what he's doing to them, before its too late.
