Sen. Lee posts unbelievable photo of 2013′s new federal regulations

And the Washington Establishment of Big Government bureaucracy thinks more of this is better for us? Over-regulation equates to less liberty...and the fact that unelected pencil-pushers are allowed to create this level of BS just makes it that much more repulsive...

Once again, THANKS to Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) for the head's up on the Obama regime's impending regulatory nightmare (via Facebook).

Behold my display of the 2013 Federal Register. It contains over 80,000 pages of new rules, regulations, and notices all written and passed by unelected bureaucrats. The small stack of papers on top of the display are the laws passed by elected members of Congress and signed into law by the president.

PJTatler adds:

Those 80,000 pages translate into nearly 158 million new paperwork hours for Americans and our businesses — hours that could have been used productively, instead going to keeping government bureaucrats happy. The cost of all this: Nearly $500 billion in new costs forced on businesses.

Yet economists keep being blindsided by unexpected! dips in the economy.
