More lies

One of the current Republican talking points is that the Obama Administration is burying business in America under an unprecedented avalanche of regulations.  They've used this to justify attempts to gut pretty much all federal regulations, from the new consumer finance regs enacted after Wall Street screwed us all over to the Clean Air Act.

The thing is, it's not true:

Obama’s White House approved 613 federal rules during the first 33 months of his term, 4.7 percent fewer than the 643 cleared by President George W. Bush’s administration in the same time frame, according to an Office of Management and Budget statistical database reviewed by Bloomberg.  Link

Gee, more regulations under Bush.  Do you suppose the Republicans were complaining about it then?

Of course, the Republicans lying about the President's record is nothing new.

Just remember and don't reward them for it next November.
