The Cost of Government Regulations

[longknife]

Federal regulation and intervention cost an estimated $1.88 trillion in 2014 in lost economic productivity and higher prices. That’s a huge burden on American consumers and businesses, all caused by excess bureaucracy,


Think about that for a minute. How much are they costing YOU every day?


Okay, I know. Liberals are going to defend this by saying they simply are designed to put in effect laws passed by Congress. Or to perform things needed for the orderly operation of our modern society.


Bull excrement! They come from a bunch of nameless bureaucrats determined to defend their own fiefdoms and account for promotions and expanses of their little empires.


Read the story @ New CEI report details the vast size scope and cost of federal regulation - Watchdog.org and the report itself @ Ten Thousand Commandments 2015 Competitive Enterprise Institute


Obama Administration’s Major Regulations Cost More Than $80 Billion Annually @ Obama s Regulations Cost More Than 80 Billion Annually


So, which one to pay attention to?

Good advice. I'll make a note to remember this next time I'm on a plane and the evil fascistic FAA prevents it from flying into another one.
Or the next time I'm in a car accident and the airbag put there by the dirty commies keeps my teeth from being part of the steering wheel.
Or the next time I take a drink of water and there isn't enough arsenic in there.
Or the next time I get to choose one food product over another because the bastard socialists makes them print ingredient labels.

Holey shit we've already got foxes in control of the henhouse. We got the blessings ::cough cough:: like aspartame thanks to revolving-door whores like Donald Rumsfeld. What more do you want?

I, an old-school libertarian, am entirely dismayed that the executive's enforcement agencies are really little more than regulatory agencies.

But then, no one ever accuse the left of any constitutional appreciation.
