Ok so you now are on record as saying the it is a benefit economically to be under the control of FedGov. You can’t have it both ways LOL

Here is the cost estimate from only one source and it is for the entire USA = $2Trillion.

No one need credit politically motivated attacks like this anymore. The ongoing, actually inexcusable, official uncertainty over the aggregate costs of U.S. federal regulations despite over a decade of Office of Management and Budget reports to Congress on the benefits and costs raises concern, not about those trying to measure, but on the fact that the largest government on earth has no map of itself when it comes to regulation.

Official disclosure needs amplification, and Congress does need to fix the problem.

The new estimate from NAM/Crain and Crain turns out to be $2.028 trillion annually. They break costs up into four main categories (in billions of dollars):

Economic: $1,448

Environmental: $330

Occupational Safety/Heath & Homeland Security: $92

Tax Compliance: $159
