Thanks.  Very interesting.  I don't think I like repealing the ban on dumping coal waste next to streams.  Or repealing the requirement for investment advisors to act in the best interests of their clients.  A lot of the others that were repealed are pretty technical, so it's hard for me to decide what to think about those repeals.

The state of West Virginia has the authority to regulate what happens in their state. They don't need a federal regulation to decide what they believe is best for their state.

As far as the DOT regulations on IRAs, people hated that rule because they could no longer take advice from an individual advisor unless the signed away their rights to the fiduciary rule. I work as an advisor and we had to force people to move their IRAs to a managed discretionary account run by portfolio managers which is based purely on a persons risk tolerance and gives no ability for the client to give input on any of the investments in their accounts.
