President Obama’s administration has issued 28,239 new final rules encompassing 201,046 pages in the Federal Register.
The over 200,000 pages of Obama regulations are 167 times longer than the Bible, which averages about 1,200 pages.
George W. Bush’s administration issued 31,634 regulations encompassing 178,571 pages in the Federal Register. Bill Clinton’s administration issued 37,366 rules for a total of 161,766 pages.

The more rules and laws a people have over them, the less respect for them they have.
Frankly I’m surprised they’re that close – and that’s not a positive view of the Bush and Clinton administrations. Of course 0bama’s have managed to do a far better job of handicapping our economy and taking away our privacy.
Unconstitutional Federal agencies have become a hammer used by socialist/progressive special interest groups to beat down, business, citizens, farmers, capitalism, liberty and freedom.
FREE COUNTRY? Not anymore. Where does it end? When is enough enough? When will people wake up? This doesn’t even include all the state regs putting us under their thumbs. We are nothing but slaves to bureaucrats.
Just try going off grid and living as a free person. Unless of course you’re muslime or illegal.
