Until Trump’s administration makes a case that its own OMB and agencies are wrong — not just by a little, but by tens of billions of dollars — the presumption of every journalist and politico in Washington should be that there is no coherent policy rationale for Trump’s deregulatory agenda.

So Trump could fix this with some different staffing at the OMB. Also, if Congress can forbid federally funded research into gun violence, I don't see why they can't do the same for virtually all regulatory agencies monitoring their own cost-effectiveness.  The data could still be made to fit the ideology, if the Trump administration gets on the ball.
