$1.8 trillion shock: Obama regs cost 20-times estimate! — And growing!

Current federal regulations plus those coming under Obamacare will cost American taxpayers and businesses $1.8 trillion annually, more than twenty times the $88 billion the administration estimates, according to a new roundup provided to Secrets from the libertarian Competitive Enterprise Institute.

And it could grow, warned the author of the report, Clyde Wayne Crews, a CEI vice president.

Complying with Health and Human Services Department requirements alone, he revealed, costs $184 billion a year, yet regulators are still drafting the rules for the 2,400-page Obamacare law that kicks into gear in 2014.

Ding!

Knockout.

Zzzzzzz….

Why is America a Republic and not a Democracy?

In a Democracy, laws are established or repealed by the majority. The rule of law's protection of minorities from the whim of the majority in a democracy is no protection at all.

In a Republic, a written Constitution safeguards the rights of the individual and the minority, despite the whim or panic of the majority.

Thus, in the American Republic, all citizens are in theory protected by law, in spite of the election of a lunatic. But the law must be enforced against a lawless president, and it is done by way of the remaining two branches of our government (Congress and our courts).

'Barack Obama' (or whoever the hell he really is), Joseph Stalin and Adolph Hitler. (Our apologies to Stalin and Hitler for insulting their intelligence with the comparison. But it is what it is.)
