The Federal Register, the daily depository of all Washington’s rules, was 79,311 pages long last year. Of the Register’s five highest annual page counts, four occurred under Obama.
And the numbers are staggering; 3,659 rules were issued last year, by 63 departments, agencies and commissions. Meanwhile, Congress passed and the President signed 72 laws.
That means there were 51 new regulations enacted in 2013 for every law passed by Congress. Most lawmaking is now done by the unelected.
Into this environment the White House’s Office of Management & Budget just released its annual Report to Congress on the Benefits & Costs of Federal Regulation.
Out of thousands of rules, guess how many regulations underwent a full cost-benefit analysis. Only seven. Less than half of one percent of the total.

every major regulation–one costing more than $100 million a year–ought to be approved by Congress, rather than merely imposed by bureaucrats. No more regulation without representation
