PhillyKev 0 #1 July 16, 2003 George Bush has broken a Clinton record, though not one to be proud of. The Federal Register – the publication that lists all proposed and enacted federal regulations – increased to 75,606 pages in 2002. That breaks the previous record set by Bill Clinton in 2000. You need to know that these federal regulations cost businesses (and, ultimately, the consumers) in America more than all business income taxes combined. During 2002 Congress passed 269 new laws. During the same year regulatory agencies passed 4,167 final rules. Not one of these rules was then subjected to congressional oversight. Some more things to think about when considering Bush’s record in the White House. Federal government spending under Bush has increased at a rate faster than of any year during the Clintonista era. George Bush has yet to veto one single spending bill. George Bush has teamed up with congressional Democrats to pass massive spending increases in education, agriculture and other areas. George Bush has been in office for almost three years, and has yet to recommend the elimination of one single government-spending program. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
