Sen. Mike Lee's page at Facebook last January offered this comparison of the laws actually passed by Congress (on top of the storage case) and the 80,000+ pages of new regulations issued by unelected bureaucrats.



That's roughly 2,500 pages per vertical foot.

Why are you surprised? Bureaucracies justify their existence by rule making. The more complex and incomprehensible the rules, the more you need them to interpret them.

The key being "unelected", because those "regulations" are in effect "laws" which the citizen must comply with or else...
One of every five Americans you meet has a mental illness of some sort. Many, many, of our veteran's suffer from mental illness like PTSD now also. Help if ya can. :) http://www.projectsemicolon.org/share-your-story.html
And no you won't find my "story" there. They don't allow science fiction. :)
