The size of the federal regulatory burden is almost too large to conceptualize, but if you're willing to try, here's a few numbers you should know. The $1.9 trillion price tag for all federal regulations and interventions during 2016 is roughly equal to the $1.93 trillion in personal and corporate income taxes collected by the IRS, according to the CEI report. The Federal Registry, that behemoth of a book that annually tracks the growth of the federal leviathan, had more than 95,000 pages added to it in 2016, far outpacing the previous record (set just one year earlier) of 80,260 pages. Including last year's record-breaker, 13 of the 15 longest registers in American history have been authored by the past two presidential administrations (Barack Obama owns seven of the top eight, with George W. Bush filling in most of the rest).
Thank goodness Trump signed the Internet spying bill which deregulates internet service providers and they can now sell your internet history to anyone they want, including your employer and health insurance company, without notifying you.

This is true freedom.
Were you bothered by Obama's spying on Americans without worrying about the law?

The most ridiculous of the Obama regulations increased the cost of a single light bulb to over $4.00. Remember when you could buy a nice, functional light bulb for around 40 cents and were perfectly happy with it? Me, too.
No, they were regulated and not allowed to sell your personal internet history to anyone they want for a profit, without notifying you. This has now been deregulated so you get more freedom. Its the most pure liberty money can buy.
Looks like a statistic invented by the Koch brothers.
Unless you are a member of the ruling class, regulations that protect consumers and workers are a good thing.
