Obama's Administration is ALREADY up to 17,522 Pages of New Regulations .. with 3 Years to Go

President Obama's administration has added a whopping 17,522 pages of new regulations, expanding the "Code of Federal Regulations" by 11 percent with still three more years in office, a report from Competitive Enterprise Institute says.
According to a new report from Clyde Wayne Crews, CEI's vice president for policy, Obama has averaged adding 3,504 pages annually to the Code. By comparison, former President George W. Bush added 2,584 annually over his final four years, and 2,490 annually over his full eight years in office.
What's more: The new numbers include Obama's pre-election slowdown of regulation issuances of just 939 pages between 2012 and 2013, said Crews.
"Obama’s pace of regulation exceeds his predecessor ... despite his being prone to proclamations like that made during the 2012 State of the Union Address, 'I’ve approved fewer regulations in the first three years of my presidency than my Republican predecessor did in his,' " said Crews. "Obama doesn’t say things like that anymore. Instead, at this phase of his presidency, he promises to act without Congress wherever possible."
