President Obama has just set a new record for rules and regulations, his administration spitting out 527 pages worth in just one day, as he races to put his fingerprint on virtually every corner of American life and business.
According to the Competitive Enterprise Institute, the administration has just shattered the old record for pages of regulations and rules published by the in-house journal, the Federal Register.
At 81,640 total pages for 2016, it ranks first and 235 pages more than all of those published in 2010, the previous record.
What's more, there are still about 26 working days left in the year.
"This is astonishing and should be of great concern, and intolerable, to policymakers. It is remarkable enough that the all-time record has been passed before Thanksgiving," he added.
Obama has promised to regulate by executive authority, but the sheer number of pages of regulations being rushed through is astonishing.
Still, it's not a big surprise to CEI and other regulation watchdogs.
The reason, said Crews, Obama owns seven of the 10 highest-ever Federal Register counts.

Obama holds the two records so far - then along comes Trump.....
Take the book and rescind every one of them.
Hopefully, Donald will spend a lot of time ‘weeding the garden’ when he goes into office. Pull out those old tired, useless, redundant rules.
I hope Trump announces that no one will face any consequences for failing to follow these regs.
That promise to rescind two existing regulations for every new one won’t be enough. Better make it three or four.
Businesses just need to ignore this sh$@#$
Who will waste their time reading it?
All for naught. Trump will make them all null and void. The book should be burned publicly.
They can be undone quickly. With a signature.
And America will grow again.
Fire everyone at the IRS, EPA and other worthless government agencies, then interview and hire those necessary to protect American citizens.
Most of the EPA and IRS work need to be pushed down to the states.
No. Rules and law are important. As important as the repeal and revocation of those which are burdensome, unwarranted, disguised bills of attainder, without due process, or unconstitutional.
And Trump has promised to regulate by CONSTITUTIONAL authority.
F U B O!
Phone and pen, part deux.
Not Obama's.
He’s just warming up. Wait till December while people are busy with the holidays and not paying much attention to the news....................
Which is why you don’t ignore them. You repeal them.
“When you have 10,000 regulations, people lose all respect for the law.” W. Churchill
