What got me was the numbers, that on average for every day in the office O signed a new bill into law, and along with that came more than a couple dozen new regulations enforced by fines or imprisonment.

I do not believe you math is correct.

One new bill for every third day is more like it.

It’s abysmal to be sure!

The single worst thing that GWB ever failed to do, was to purge the government of the Clintonistas in early 2001.

A Clintonista at the time smirked in the media, “it’ll take them years to undo what we’ve done.”

Those Leftists who were hired on in ‘93, are embedded like tapeworms in every facet of government. They’ve had 20+ years to entrench, and nothing short of revolution will dislodge them.

A Happy Trading Morning to everyone!   Our heat map shows metals futures soaring +0.53%, and while it's also got stocks down a percent this other futures page shows a lot of upward pressure.  All this comes w/ flat trading continuing in metals while yesterdays stocks closed sharply down bringing up the distribution count to 9 NASDAQ and 8 S&P500.  It sure seems that another such day would officially put us into "correction".

for every day in the office O signed a new bill

One new bill for every third day

Right, which means we're assuming he spent a day at the office on one out of 3 days.  We may be a bit generous there...

This is the biggest reason I quit listening to “conservative” media. You can talk about separation of powers and Obama’s overreach all you want to, but until you have a plan and the backbone to deal with administrative agencies — who all exercise in some form “quasi”- executive, legislative and judicial powers— you have not gotten to the root of the problem. For starters, we need to put names and faces to the nameless faceless bureaucrats and they need to be subject to the same financial disclosure requirements as elected leaders and judges.

Congress deliberately hands over power to nameless regulators, because Congressmen do not want to be held accountable for the rules thus created.
