Obama shock: Another $6 billion in 'midnight regulations'

Ass Man

Enjoying the view
President Obama, who this week has issued a flurry of environmental rules, is planning to unleash another set of "midnight regulations" right before he leaves office that will cost Americans $6 billion.

Obama has already broken all past records on creating federal regulations and red tape, and his new adds will boost the overall price tag to over $1 trillion.

The new regulations, according to the watchdog group American Action Forum, include four from the Environmental Protection Agency and one from Interior.

"These five measures alone could impose $5.1 billion in costs and more than 350,000 paperwork burden hours. In addition, three other rules in proposed form could add $898 million in burdens and 146,000 paperwork hours, for a cumulative total of nearly $6 billion in potential midnight costs and nearly 500,000 burden hours from the two agencies. Consider, EPA and Interior have already imposed $349 billion in previous burdens since 2009," said AAF's Sam Batkins.

Obama is the only dumbass Hillary should blame for losing-dd
 
why even bother when he knows Trump's going to reverse them all on January 21....nobody will even open the envelope and read his mail.......
 
there is some talk that the prohibition on offshore drilling isn't reversable..Obama just wrote ban by executive order.

He cannot get off the stage fast enough. Him and his executive orders and over-regulatory state gota go

It's just words on paper, of course it can be reversed.

things presidents do without legislative authority are reversible.......things presidents do WITH legislative authority are reversible.....in short things governments do are reversible......shucks, if there's a law that says its not reversible, THAT is reversible.......

The Congress gave the President this authority in 1953. Keep trying, though.
 
M'eh... They'll be reversed in the first days of Trump's presidency. Everything he does now other than the pardons and clemency he's given are useless.
 
Not gonna happen. Obama invoked his authority given to him by Congress.

heres what will happen

trump will reverse it

you guys go to the sc

by the time the lawyers are done with it there will be a new conservative there

This from one of the "December Surprise" crowd... You couldn't predict air inside of a balloon.

Same authority, same office. It will happen. Even if you don't like it.

If he tries it, it will fast track to the SCOTUS and he'll lose, regardless of a conservative. The law is quite clear on Obama's authority. The law allows a president to withdraw any currently unleased lands in the Outer Continental Shelf from future lease sales. There is no provision in the law that allows the executive's successor to repeal the decision. You must want impeachment for old Orangetweet.

I never made any comment about a December Surprise, dumbfuck. Keep flailing though.


Better read the law, asswipe, before you embarrass yourself further.

Ah, the downside to executive orders finally rears it's beautiful head lol.

That's the problem with skirting congress to get your agenda---the next guy can come along and cancel it with a pen.
