The federal government juggernaut had a banner year
in 2013. Time Magazine should have
declared it the year of the bureaucrat.
Over 80,000 pages of new rules and regulations were shoved down our
throats without our consent, the States, or our elected representatives. Senator Mike Lee posted the following picture
on Facebook.
On top of
that, they broke a new record. For every
new law, bureaucrats created 56 regulations.
The Washington Examiner reported the following:
The Obama administration made up for the lack of laws passed in
Congress last year, issuing a whopping 3,659 rules regulations, crushing claims
that Washington isn't doing anything.
Only 65 public laws were signed by President Obama in
2013, meaning that his government issued an average of 56 new regulations for
every one, a record high ratio, according to the annual analysis by theCompetitive Enterprise Institute.
The surge in regulations has led critics to charge that
Congress is now a bystander to federal regulatory agencies.
Said CEI’s Wayne
Crews, who provided Secrets with his new analysis, “The deterioration of the
Constitution’s separation of, and balance of, powers means that regulators and
bureaucrats now make most laws. Congress is so 1789, after all. The executive
branch increasingly imposes its will: President Obama and his administration
repeatedly say they are not going to wait for Congress, so brace yourselves.”
Constitution, we don’t
need no stinking Constitution.
