Regulations Cost Nearly $2 Trillion Yearly, Study Says
 Tim Benson

The Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) has released the 2022 edition of their long-running Ten Thousand Commandments series, an annual report that examines the size and reach of the federal regulatory state.

CEI regards the cost of regulations as a “hidden tax” the federal government imposes on Americans.

This 2022 edition, authored by CEI Vice President for Policy Wayne Crews, “examines the scope of the federal regulatory state to help illustrate the need for transparency, disclosure, and congressional accountability,” according to a press release released in conjunction with the report.

Hidden Tax, High Costs

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Look what Federal regualtions are doing to domestic energy prices.

Chevron can drill for oil in Venezuela, but they can't drill anymore in the US.
