Biden Admin Regulations Cost US Households More Than $15,000 a Year, Report Says
The Daily Signal cited CEI on the Ten Thousand Commandments
Households pay an average of $15,788 in hidden regulatory costs, according to the annual report, written by Clyde Wayne Crews and titled “Ten Thousand Commandments.” That’s more than what they pay for food, clothing, education, or any other household expense other than housing, consuming 17% of income and representing 22% of household expenses.
Federal regulations’ total compliance costs and economic effects add up to at least $2.117 trillion, rivaling individual income-tax costs estimated at $2.328 trillion. Regulatory costs are nearly four times the corporate income tax of $546 billion.
