Nearly All Regulations Survive Obama 'Reforms'

Investors.com  "An IBD report last week noted that the Obama administration has imposed 75 major rules in its first 26 months. The Federal Register, the official record of rules and regulations, reports 4,200 regulations are in the pipeline. That excludes massive rules to come from the financial reform law and ObamaCare.

"Under Obama, employment at federal regulatory agencies has swelled 13% to over 281,000. Private jobs have shrunk by 5.6%."

One of the nastier regulations: the fairness doctrine.  So the next time you hear some Democrat whine about how Republicans want to take away your rights, remember which party actually spent decades trying to shackle the country's most basic right to free speech.
