As the new year enters it’s fourth day, there were already 141 new government regulations on the books in the first three days of 2014. Most of the regulations are via the corrupt EPA. This is how progressive liberal Democrats celebrate a new year, with hundreds of new government regulations.

The website Regulations.gov lists 141 regulations that have been posted by federal agencies in the last three days alone. Of these regulations, 119 are “rulemaking,” meaning they establish a new rule. Twenty-three are “non-rulemaking,” meaning the regulations does not establish a new rule.
The largest group of regulations have to do with energy and environmental issues, many of them issued by the Environmental Protection Agency. One new EPA regulation is an amendment to a rule on hazardous emissions from lead smelters.
