Regulations under Democrats

Red Tape Rising: Obama’s Torrent of New Regulation  "The burden of regulation on Americans increased at an alarming rate in fiscal year 2010. Based on data from the Government Accountability Office, an unprecedented 43 major new regulations were imposed by Washington. And based on reports from government regulators themselves, the total cost of these rules topped $26.5 billion, far more than any other year for which records are available. These costs will affect Americans in many ways, raising the price of the cars they buy and the food they eat, while destroying an untold number of jobs. With the enactment of new health care laws, financial regulations, and plans for rulemaking in other areas, the regulatory burden on Americans is set to increase even further in the coming year."

Under new federal regulations in Obama’s America a commissar will decide if you are too fat
"The nervy Marxists who run our lives have given themselves the power to decide who is and who is not too fat to receive government healthcare benefits. Under a new law signed by Obama our medical records will include our height and weight and our Body Mass Index (BMI) to determine if we are obese by government standards."

Doctors: Get ready to buckle under Obamacare    "Obamacare does not substantially change the general pattern of the government’s systems of physician payment but instead expands their reach and adds new regulatory restrictions. For example, beginning in 2010, the new law, with few exceptions, will prohibit physicians from referring Medicare patients to hospitals in which they have ownership."

Republican Victories Boost Effort to Block EPA's Climate Rules "Once the power shifts on Capitol Hill, experts say, the agency will face intense pressure as Republicans wield their newfound power and seek to set the tone for President Obama's re-election bid in 2012. The Obama administration will need to make tough choices once it is faced with hostile oversight hearings in the Republican-controlled House and efforts to block controversial regulations, experts say."

 Slim Down the Federal Bureaucracy "It actually takes a long time and a lot of hard work to conceive, write and legally enact a new regulation. If there were only half as many bureaucrats at EPA, for example, they simply wouldn't have the time to pass as many oppressive regulations as they do.
"That would both slow down new regulations and make it harder for the regulators to enforce regulations already on the book.
"Then, if the tea party Congress and the public had the stomach for it, they could start rolling back existing regulations."
