While millions of Americans prepare to stuff themselves with Turkey and pie, the Obama administration quietly released its plans for 2,224 federal rules Friday - a preview of just how many more regulations the president is attempting to issue before he leaves office.

President Barack Obama's Unified Agenda for Fall 2015 is his administration's regulatory road map and lays out thousands of regulations being finalized in the coming months. Obama has developed a habit of releasing the agenda late on Friday before a major holiday.

Triple all of the costs, quadruple all of the hours-required-to-comply, and cut the benefits down to 1/10 what is claimed ....

Then do it again.

It’s disgusting, for sure.

But show me the stack that Bush 43 repealed.

Our bigger problem is the people we hired to end this nightmare have not done so. Even when they had the Congress and the Presidency. Nope. They piled on.

When does that change?

Around the time Lois Lerner is finally arrested?

Whenever the feds come out with new regulations, patriots need to check each new regulation against the 18 clauses in Congresss Article I, Section 8-limited powers. (Patriots should not expect lawmakers who have sworn to protect and defend the Constitution to police themselves.)

Patriots then need to contact their local and state lawmakers and teach them about the federal governments constitutionally limited powers by complaining about federal regulations that are not reasonably justifiable under any of Section 8s 18 clauses. Again, most of the clauses in Section 8 are specific powers delegated to the feds by the states.

Patriots also need to remind local and state lawmakers that the Founding States made the first numbered clauses in the Constitution, Sections 1-3 of Article I, evidently a good place to hide these clauses from the feds, to clarify that all federal legislative / regulatory powers are vested in the elected members of Congress, not in the executive or judicial branches, or in non-elected federal bureaucrats like those running the EPA.

So by letting anybody who is not a member of Congress make federal regulations, Congress is wrongly protecting federal legislative powers from the wrath of the voters in blatant defiance of Sections 1-3 mentioned above imo.

Just saw a new TV Commercial, all bright and light, speaking of how good it would be if the US got to 50% renewable energy by 2030. You read about the cost of imposing these regulations and then you KNOW that the cost will be coming out of our shrinking take-home pay. You know, those dollars that the government lets us hold on to for a short time.

Key to big government advocates is a variation on what H L Mencken wrote about modern Puritanism, “The worry that someone, somewhere is having fun!” The GovLibs say their worry is “That somewhere someone is not dependent on or not paying enough taxes to be dependent on Government!” After all, it is their firm conviction that all good things are dependent upon the Government ... and they will do everything to make you agree with them!

Nothing in our modern government charts ever go positive do they. That would be leadership.

Is this above and beyond what is published in the Federal Register?

It must be; doesn’t the Federal Register come out every week?

I would counter they are null and void from the word ‘GO’: A1S8 defines what CONGRESS is allowed.

These pages full of bloviation and bovine excrement have never been debated, written nor passed by our elected officials. Neither have We the People given our elected officials permission to delegate their authority to any other entity; especially one that is NOT elected.

We the People should still contact our respective reps and tell them what for....Then vote EVERY SINGLE ONE out of office for negligence, should they refuse to correct the matter.

The American people are already hugely OVER-regulated and OVER-taxed and Obama needs to be impeached NOW.
