Feds Created More Regulations in 2015 Than in Any Previous YearBy Joshua Krause And, unfortunately, 2015 was a record-breaking year for new regulations. According to the Office of the Federal Register, which keeps track of government agency rules and public notices, 81,611 pages of regulations and proposed rules were created in 2015. That is significantly higher than 2014s 77,687 pages, and more than the all-time high of 81,405, which was set in 2010. All told, about 3,378 rules were finalized, and 2,334 regulations are at some stage of consideration. In addition to this, President Obama issued 29 executive orders and 31 executive memorandums (with plenty more to come in 2016). The only question that remains, is what new horrors does the Federal Register have in store for us this year? Joshua Krause is a reporter, writer and researcher at The Daily Sheeple.

Perhaps its time to re-evaluate your blanket attitude about regulations. Realize that the term has been turned into a loaded word by the media: regulation now implies prevention taking away freedom. Corporations perceive regulations as restrictions that erode their current and future profits. Regulations take away their freedom to do whatever they want to make more money regardless of its impact on the rest of humanity. Without question some regulations appear to be silly and unnecessary. Expending energy to get rid of such regulations is a good thing. Still (the vast majority of American) regulations are put in place to curtail behavior that is not in the best interest of maintaining (and expanding) the American quality of life. So why is it that the response to complaints about too many regulations NEVER include the word protections? Take a guess. (Hint: who controls your perception of reality?) When you tout deregulation be mindful that getting rid of their restrictions is actually getting rid of our protections.
