White House Quietly Releases Regulatory Agenda on Holiday Weekend

The Obama administration is fond of releasing news on Fridays and holiday weekends. Most people aren’t paying close attention to the media and a story can easily get buried without notice.

White House unveils regulatory agenda

The White House unveiled its semiannual regulatory agenda Friday, detailing its plans for thousands of rules in the pipeline at agencies across the federal government.

The release is the fourth consecutive time that the Obama administration has issued its regulatory roadmap on the eve of a major federal holiday, as many Americans depart for long weekends and there is typically less media coverage.

Formally known as the Unified Agenda, the document is an agency-by-agency list of rules in the works at some 60 departments and offices. It includes both executive branch agencies, such as the Transportation or Commerce Departments and independent agencies, such as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Federal Reserve.

Regulators have a statutory obligation to release the rule-making agenda in the spring and fall, historically in April and October, that details the plans and anticipated deadlines over a 12-month period.

Business owners and job creators are already suffering under the tremendous weight of confusing regulations related to Obamacare, so any introduction of new rules deserves attention.

The fact that the administration chose to release the new rules on a holiday weekend makes them even more suspect.

  1. Like a true Communist snake. We ought to start calling Barry, “Cobra Commander”. Or maybe we should start calling him, “Serpentor” who’s famous ending saying was always, “This I command!”

  2. what will be will be, let’s follow the yellow brick. Until someone, (you, I, toto, tin man, lion, straw man, or just man— Woman, the hand that wipe the tears, builds the soul). If you look around. I rant, sorry, but when the women, of the next people of this nation, will not or can not, stand and say what is right or wrong, then we are lost and set to not be a nation.. there may come a time when THE man will be gone, what will the woman do??
