				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here are some quotes from their annual report on <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #ff0000; text-decoration: underline;">Federal Regulations.</span></span></p>
<p>&#8220;The annual outflow of over <span style="color: #0000ff;">3,500</span> final rules has meant that <span style="color: #0000ff;">81,883</span> rules have been issued since 1993.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;<span style="color: #0000ff;">127</span></strong> laws were passed in calendar year 2012, whereas<strong> 3,708</strong> rules were issued.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;U.S. households &#8220;pay&#8221; <strong>$14,768</strong> annually in regulatory hidden tax.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The estimated cost of regulation exceeds half the level of federal budget itself.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The 2012<em> <span style="color: #ff0000;">Federal Register</span> </em>stands at <strong>78,961</strong> pages. Three of the four all-time high counts have occurred during the Obama administration. <span style="color: #ff0000;"><em>Federal Register</em></span> pages devoted specifically to final rules stand at<strong> 24,690</strong>.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Of the<strong> 4,062</strong> regulations now in the works 854 affect small businesses.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Finalized EPA regulations were up by <strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">44</span></strong> percent in Obama&#8217;s first term.&#8221;</p>
