And that's just federal regs. The states and cities are piling them on too. What we need is a Repeal Party, or at least a Repeal Caucus in Congress.

Ellendra posted a link in recent comments that led me to a site I never knew existed. And I wish didn’t exist.
It’s Regulations.gov. Which touts itself oh-so-cheerily and in capital letters as “Your Voice in Federal Decision-Making.”
Were I tempted to imagine I actually had a voice in Federal Decision-Making, I would be foiled by the site, which is a mindfield of pop-ups and JavaScript.
The cogent point is that, in the last 90 days alone, Our Glorious Leaders, in their Great Wisdom, have gifted us with 6,479 brand new regulations to obey. (No word on how many total pages of regulations that is.)
Ah, it’s sublime to live in the land of the free, where openness and democracy reign and we’re all represented in everything Washington does.
I did finally pry the 6,479 figure out of the site, but only after promising it my first-born son and swearing in blood to sacrifice all my privacy forever. If you’re not willing to make the same concessions to see the result of your Voice in Federal Decision-Making, Ellendra took a screen shot.
