The same people who assured me that government-run healthcare will save money also assure me that unless the government keeps a microscope on every facet of every industry, businesses will pollute the air and water until all their customers are dead in order to maximize profits.We are also assured that private busineses will regulate themselves.

Over the past month, the American people have been focused on jobs (9.2% unemployment), the economy (1.3% GDP), and debt ($14.3 trillion). Meanwhile, the Obama Administration has quietly moved forward regulations that are making it harder for the private sector to create new jobs.
In July alone:
Proposed Rules: 229
Final Rules: 379
Economically Significant Rules: 10
Regulatory Costs: Over $9.5 billion
The President’s regulatory agencies kept rolling out more job crushing red tape:
EPA: Transport Rule $2.4 billion
Obamacare: Exchanges Rule $424 million
Dodd-Frank: Consumer Financial Protection Board Full Powers
And delaying rules instead of canceling them:
Boiler MACT: Stayed Indefinitely
Utility MACT: Delayed Two Months
Ozone: Delayed Temporarily
Derivatives Rules: Delayed Six Months
Obamacare: Nearly 1,500 Waivers
