Shutdown halts federal regs
http://thehill.com/blogs/regwatch/administration/326667-shutdown-halts-federal-regulations
The government shutdown has all but turned off the regulatory spigot, reducing the flow of new rules from federal agencies to a trickle.
Regulators and proponents of stronger protections warn that rulemaking delays will jeopardize public safety and health. But some conservatives say the reprieve from red tape is welcome, even if it doesn’t last long.
“We’re very pleased that the Obama administration’s ongoing efforts to wreck the U.S. economy with more and more heavy-handed and colossally expensive regulations has been put on hold,†said Myron Ebell, director of the right-leaning Competitive Enterprise Institute’s energy and environment center.
A plus side of the government shutdown, regulation is reduced.

This is just a temporary reprieve.
Winston Churchill said, “If you have ten thousand regulations you destroy all respect for the law.â€
We passed that number a while back.

I was curious, so I looked it up.
An American Spectator article (http://spectator.org/archives/2013/06/05/twenty-years-of-non-stop-regul) said that the Code of Federal Regulations passed one million regs in 2010.

In Obama's Amerika, everyone is a criminal if he wants you to be. I've seen it said that every single person in the US violates at least one government rule , regulation or law every day.
