Watch: Jeb Bush on Growth_  by [Tessa Berenson](https://time.com/author/tessa-berenson/)  ## Tessa Berenson Nov 11, 2015 2:37 AM UTC  by [Tessa Berenson](https://time.com/author/tessa-berenson/)  ## Tessa Berenson Nov 11, 2015 2:37 AM UTC About 13 minutes into the fourth Republican debate, Jeb Bush took his first question and he came out swinging at President Barack Obama’s economic policies. Bush was asked about his plan to achieve 4% economic growth, and which specific regulations he would change. “I think we need to repeal every rule that Barack Obama has in terms of work in progress,” Bush said. “Every one of them, and start over.” This statement was met with cheers, and he proceeded to list a few specific rules he would repeal: the regulation of the internet, the Clean Power Plan, which established carbon pollution standards for power plants, and the Waters of the United States Rule, which protects thousands of waterways and wetlands. “We should repeal the rules because the economic costs of these far exceed the social benefit,” Bush said. ## Transcript On the regulatory side, I think we need to repeal every rule that Barack Obama has in terms of work in progress. [ APPLAUSE ] Every one of them. And start over. For those that are already in existence, the regulated [ INAUDIBLE ] of the internet. We have to start over, but we ought to do that. The Clean Power Act, we ought to repeal that and start over on that. The Waters of the United States Act, which is going to be devastating for agriculture and many industries. We should repeal that. We should repeal the rules because the economic costs of this far exceed the social benefit. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4107653/jeb-bush-debate-repeal-obama/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4107653/jeb-bush-debate-repeal-obama/"},"headline":"Here's Everything Jeb Bush Said He Would Repeal at the GOP Debate","datePublished":"2015-11-11T02:37:53.000Z","dateModified":"2026-10-05T08:39:52.529Z","description":"\"I think we need to repeal every rule that Barack Obama has\"","url":"https://time.com/4107653/jeb-bush-debate-repeal-obama/","keywords":["2016 Election","2016 Election","Barack Obama","jeb bush"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9d108040712124bb/6988706fa988cae8c66b539b/gop-debate-candidates-fox.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Tessa Berenson","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/tessa-berenson/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9d108040712124bb/6988706fa988cae8c66b539b/gop-debate-candidates-fox.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"GOP Presidential Candidates Debate In Milwaukee","caption":"GOP Presidential Candidates Debate In Milwaukee","creditText":"Scott Olson / Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/2016-election/","name":"2016 Election"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4107653/jeb-bush-debate-repeal-obama/","name":"Here's Everything Jeb Bush Said He Would Repeal at the GOP Debate"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"2016 FOX GOP DEBATE: Bush Wants to Repeal Obama’s Rules","description":"Watch: Jeb Bush on Growth","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/92CebQl0/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-11-11T02:31:09.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/92CebQl0.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4107653/jeb-bush-debate-repeal-obama/","duration":"PT34S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4107653/jeb-bush-debate-repeal-obama/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
