Government regulations

[kallend 2,175]

Article on the process which also gives the number of new federal regulations published each year since the 1970s.

Contrary to popular belief, Dem administrations do not appear to create more than GOP, Reagan was not a model for getting government off the backs of the people, and Obama is not a regulatory ogre.

The discussion in sections beyond table 1 in that document reflect what I wrote here some time ago, and more or less make table 1 itself useless.

Since you enjoy linking to boringly long essays that the average monkey won't read let me refer you to page 8. Bolding is mine.

“Major” Rules
As mentioned above, the CRA was enacted in 1996 and established procedures for the
congressional review of agency regulations. Under the CRA, each federal agency is required to
send its covered final rules to GAO and to both houses of Congress before the rules can take
effect. Section 804(2) of the CRA also created a category of rules called “major” rules, which are
those that the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs Administrator determines has resulted
in or is likely to result in
(A) an annual effect on the economy of $100,000,000 or more;
(B) a major increase in costs or prices for consumers, individual industries, Federal, State, or
local government agencies, or geographic regions; or
(C) significant adverse effects on competition, employment, investment, productivity,
innovation, or on the ability of United States-based enterprises to compete with foreignbased
enterprises in domestic and export markets. The term does not include any rule
promulgated under the Telecommunications Act of 1996 and the amendments made by that
Act.28

And as is your usual MO you ignore the meat of the post. Your hero is rolling out detremental regulations at a clip of one every 4 days. I know you like big numbers that are difficult to understand. I just pulled out page 8.

Simply promulgating "major" Rules is actually the executive branch doing what Congress tells it to do. This usually comes on the heels of some major legislation or major events.

Take a look at the dates. Regulations jumped in 2000 - when the tech bubble burst. They thinned out a bit through 2007 - when the economy was humming. Then skyrocketed in 2008 (Bush Admin/Democrat Congress) when the economy tanked again.

Notice that "major" rules all involve regulation of the economy. It doesn't include "Patriot Act" or such things. One can see 2008 reflecting of TARP and the like.
