The Gravity-Defying Nature of Federal Regulation

Forbes magazine grabs a terrific quote from 10,000 Commandments, an annual report authored by Wayne Crews, CEI’s Vice President for Policy.  The report focuses on just how bloated the federal registry has become:

What goes up and doesn’t come down? The federal budget and the cost of federal regulations. [Our] new report finds the cost of federal regulations on consumers [was] a staggering $1.16 trillion in 2007.

Thanks to Mr. Steve Forbes for including us in his fine publications and for sending us a note giving us a heads-up on the quote.

If you’re not feeling angry enough at just how out of control our federal government has become, read the report yourself at CEI.org.
