Obama Breaks Record for Most Pages of Regulations in Single Year
The Obama administration set a new record Thursday by producing 527 pages worth of new rules and regulations in a single day, bringing the president’s Federal Register up to 81,640 total pages for 2016, the most ever.
And we’ll never even know what most of the pages say, until someone comes to take us away for violating a sacred text.
Trump’s gonna have to work hard to be worse than this guy. It bothers me to think he may be up to the job – but even if he turns out to be Lord Libertopia, all those regulations are still on all those books, with the full force of law, and nobody’s going to bother repealing them.
Stroke of the pen, law of the land!
MOST of those regulations were promulgated by Executive Orders or bureaucratic fiat. The EPA has already admitted that they haven’t done an economic impact review in YEARS, even though that is required by law BEFORE they finalize a regulation. As soon as he is sworn in, Trump can DELETE every Executive Order with ONE new order that lists them. And the same holds for every regulation which was not created in accordance with the law. We’ll have to wait and see if he’s got the guts to do that, but the opportunity is there. Which is why there is so much wailing and gnashing of teeth by the globalists…
