Happy Thanksgiving: King Obama issues 3,415 new regulations

[kalm]

Wow - rules to protect our air, water, etc. Damn that Obama, looking out for the common man and not letting corporations kill us all in the name of more profits

Dback, you are a walking self-parody. Do you actually believe the crap you spew? How about regs that stifle innovation, kill jobs, and add billions of dollars of needless compliance costs? To say nothing of the rise of the liberty- killing administrative state.

Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving.

Hey! Maybe we can rely on the benevolent nature of businesses to operate at a profit while being good stewards of the environment and fair business practices.

Kalm, you are a cynical old nelly Khundt. You despise all those regulations telling you how long the grass on your greens has to be, how deep your cups have to be, the distance between sand traps, and how many Japanese can play on your courses at one time. Don't give me that tired old business-is-bad shit, you dumb Donk.

Government doesn't regulate any of those things.

Flailing....

Is there a god damn echo in here?

God, I hooked a big brown trout on Thanksgiving eve!

Silly business-bashing Khundt.

Wow, these are all brand new regulations? That seems like a ton. Is this something they do every year? How does it stack up to other administrations?

Why don't you just go ahead and link the fvking link you want to link

Goddamn passive aggressive and smug at the same time

you really make me want to go snap the head off a kitten, klam

You sure do get bent out of shape easily. Doesn't really jibe with the tough guy confederate do-rag image.

I'd be surprised if a democratic administration is lighter on regulations, but I'm guessing the 3400 number isn't all that high and I'd be surprised if many of them are not in fact new at all, but annual tweaks on things that already exist. I also have read that the number of regulations tend to increase in the last two years of an administration. At least they did under Bush.

We have 316 million people and 3.79 million square miles of blessed country. It might take more than few sheets of paper to manage all of that.

Conks…never appreciative of what it takes to run a large, kick ass, country with clean air, water, and modern infrastructure.

Obama has been significantly higher than Bush, and Obama has avg 3500+ pages annually.

More than a few sheets of paper. Try over 175k pages

There's no valid reason we couldn't have a CFR limited to a few hundred regs and a few K pages.

You've obviously found a generalized article without meat that resonates with your ideology and are now wandering into Spanos country. Congrats!

This coming from you? Really????????

[Ibanez]

not that I agree with Jon, but he is NOT saying the 3415 rules are for protecting air and water among other things. God, you are dim.

If you believe any of that crap you're as ignorant as he is.

Left out an important word: Not

The point: you missed it.

DID YOU KNOW…THAT UNDER BUSH…THE CFR INCREASED BY 17,000 PAGES?????????

And yes also according to your article, the number under Obama increased by 12,000 pages versus just 10,000 under Bush. Shocker: A democratic administration writes more rules than a republican administration. But they both write a shit ton of rules.

That was my whole point all along. Your headline and premise were misleading. That also is not a shocker.

I can't pretend to know what the right number of regs are, but again, 316 million people and 3.79 million square miles of territory might require more than just a few hundred regs.
