Trump administration proposes loosening the energy rules that make automatic dishwashers operate so poorly.
Dishwashers used to clean a full load of filthy dishes in under an hour. But now they take an average of two and a half hours and STILL leave dishes dirty!
From a FreedomWorks online petition.
Did you know the federal government regulates dishwashers? Trump wants to change the rules. Guess who wants to keep things exactly like they are? Dishwasher makers!
