Economic Collapse News ^ | 31 May 2016 | Andrew Moran

The United States federal government loves a few things: war, taxes and regulations. For the last few decades, Washington, whether it’s controlled by Republicans or Democrats, has expanded the tax code and the book of regulations. But it has really amplified under the current regime.

According to a new report from the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI), the federal government has implemented more than 2,000 regulations in the last week. These regulations cover nearly every single issue, from energy standards to nutrition labeling, from avocadoe imports to cable TV disclosure requirements. It’s part of an effort by the Obama administration to get in as many new regulations as possible before the president leaves office.

These are not executive orders. These are regulations issued through the regular rulemaking process that YOUR CONGRESSMAN most likely voted for.

” It’s part of an effort by the Obama administration to get in as many new regulations as possible before the president leaves office.”

Too bad we don’t have an opposition party to provide a counter balance.

When those in the elected US government positions set their own salaries and exempt themselves from the laws they pass for the rest and also pass laws that ingratiate themselves and only apply to them, can one honestly believe this type of government will avoid civilian backlash or that it will last? This is obviously why those in DC want to disarm the civilian population but their mantra of lies is disarming US civilians will curb gun violence. How much more?

Congress purposefully punted its Constitutional responsibility and allowed the Executive Branch to make rules with the force of law. Specifically to avoid being put on the spot over yea-or-nay votes on each of them. Quisling cowards.

Hey, they're just "rules".

Legally change your name to Hillary Clinton, announce that you're running for president, and then break all the "rules" you want to.

Regulations, unlike laws, can be regulated out of existence. Mr. Trump will be busy.

I don’t think so. Laws are passed by the Congress, these are regulations which are implemented by “Agencies” such as the EPA, IRS, Dept. of Interior, FAA, etc.

Approved by the POS, pardon me, POTUS. Then published in the “Federal Register”.

The Imposter in the White House know hw can’t complete his Fundamental Transformation of America.

But he is doing his best to tie us up in knots of red tape for the next century.

Most of us see more problems from local government regulations.
