Title: Report: Another 1500 pages of regulations added LAST WEEK
Post by: Pandora on September 20, 2012, 11:25:18 AM

Last week, 1,571 new pages of regulations were published in the 2012 Federal Register, bringing the total for this year to more than 55,300 pages, according to the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI). (http://dailycaller.com/2012/09/17/report-another-1500-pages-of-regulations-added-last-week/)

Quote

In those pages, 76 new final rules were approved, up from 51 final rules during the shortened Labor Day holiday week.

That figure is equivalent to a new regulation being published every 2 hours and 13 minutes, 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.

The only thing moving faster than the regulatory bureaucrats are the Treasury printing presses.

I don't even think these new bills burn well or make very good insulation...   :P  ...but regulations lubbed by bureaucrats might burn well...   ::angel::
