Red Tape Rising: Obama’s Torrent of New Regulation

The burden of regulation on Americans increased at an alarming rate in fiscal year 2010. Based on data from the Government Accountability Office, an unprecedented 43 major new regulations were imposed by Washington. And based on reports from government regulators themselves, the total cost of these rules topped $26.5 billion, far more than any other year for which records are available. These costs will affect Americans in many ways, raising the price of the cars they buy and the food they eat, while destroying an untold number of jobs. With the enactment of new health care laws, financial regulations, and plans for rulemaking in other areas, the regulatory burden on Americans is set to increase even further in the coming year.

This Heritage analysis uses the Barky Obamadinajad Regime's own numbers, so the 'rats can't attack its authenticity--but they will. That's what they do.

This is nothing. There are thousands of regs coming out of the Obamacare and financial regulation bills that will do untold damage.

FUBO!

If you remember, the government’s goal in Atlas Shrugged was to create enough laws and regulations that everyone was guaranteed to be in violation of something. Once they have that, they can make you march to their tune, by threatening something else you hold even dearer. This will not end well.

Also, the privileged class does not have to worry about these silly regulations, they only apply to the law-abiding, “unwashed”, clingers.

Glen Beck has labelled Cass Sunstein, Obama’s “Regulatory Czar”, as the most dangerous man in America. Here is his handiwork.

If the combined new GOP legislature and president don’t overturn EVERYTIHNG Obama passed in his administration, then I’m done voting. Period. I will be putting as much pressure on my legislators and writing the president’s office to DEMAND they repeal every damn law, statute, tax, fee, and recommendation put out by Obama, Pelosi and Reed. Throw the baby out with the bath water, and if the baby is that good, then bring him back in later.

I want it ALL repealed.

I mean “EVERYTHING!”

[rockinqsranch]

Yes.
