Escalating Bureaucracy
President Joe Biden’s effort to finalize new federal regulations quickly is to make them harder to repeal in the early days of a possible second Trump presidency, reports James Freeman in the WSJ.
From Wayne Crews writes at Forbes: the pace of bureaucracy-building in Washington has lately been surging:
As of Monday, May 13, there have been 1,148 rules and regulations finalized among the 41,830 pages published to date in the 2024 Federal Register.
Page tallies of over 800 per day have suddenly become routine. Last week’s 4,225 pages represented nearly double 2024’s weekly pace so far.
At any given moment several thousand rules and regulations populate the production process.
