EPA Regs Issued Under Obama Are 43 TIMES As Long As The Bible
(CNSNews.com) — Since President Barack Obama took office on Jan. 20, 2009, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has issued 3,120 new final regulations, equaling 27,854 pages in the Federal Register, totaling approximately 27,854,000 words.
Using the Regulations.gov website and data from the Federal Register, CNSNews.com found 3,120 final rules published by the EPA since January 2009 covering greenhouse gases, air quality, emissions, and hazardous substances, to name a few. The Federal Register publishes documents, including proposed rules, notices, interim rules, corrections, drafts of final rules and final rules but the CNSNews.com tabulation included only the final rules from the EPA.
For comparison with those final rules, the Gutenberg Bible is 1,282 pages long and contains 646,128 words.This means that the new EPA regulations issued by the Obama Administration now contain 21 times as many pages as the Bible and 43 times as many words.
Wild Thing’s comment.……
Obama loves being a dictator and so does his EPA that he has made more powerful then it ever has been.
This is one of the major problems with the federal govt. There are armies of bureaucrats, staffers and lawyers that add items to every bill which is already filled with riders from all the individual congress people. That way a bill that might originally start out with 50 pages filled with too many details, now becomes a monster bill of thousands of pages. So many of these finely detailed bills have been passed in the last 60 or more years that every American is probably unknowingly breaking a dozen or so laws daily.
