Here are some of the Obama Administration’s new, excessive and costly regulations: • While Obama has deferred most of his environmental agenda items until his “more flexible” second term, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) had the costliest regulations in 2012 amounting to $172 billion; • The widely unpopular Affordable Care Act (a.k.a., “Obama Care”) legislation continues to burden American business with an additional 44 million paperwork hours (over 21 thousand man-years labor) needed from the Dept. of Health and Human Services, the Center for Medicare Services and the Food and Drug Administration; • The controversial Dodd-Frank financial reforms legislation requires 32.7 million new paperwork hours (over 15 thousand man-years labor) from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission; • Obama has enacted regulations amounting to over $34.6 billion in new regulatory costs to our 30 largest corporations; • The most costly of all new regulations fall under the requirements for energy efficiency and fuel conservation totaling $311 billion.
