Obama's agencies push flurry of 'midnight' actions

Description

Federal agencies are rushing out a final volley of executive actions in the last two months of Barack Obama’s presidency. This comes despite warnings from Republicans in Congress and the reality that Donald Trump will have the power to erase much of their handiwork after Jan. 20. Regulations on commodities speculation, air pollution from the oil industry, doctors’ Medicare drug payments and high-skilled immigrant workers are among the rules moving through the pipeline. Also moving ahead are negotiations on an investment treaty with China and decisions by the Education Department on whether to offer debt relief to students at defunct for-profit colleges. This is all coming as the Obama administration grasps at one last chance to cement his legacy.
