The Cost of Gummint, Again

We've mentioned the Cost of Gummint a few times.

...In 2011, Obama’s regulatory agencies imposed 3,807 new rules on various sectors of the economy that Oversight staff expect to cost over $105 billion this year alone. As of the fall of 2011, federal regulators were considering 133 new “economically significant rules” — that is, regulations that would each cost over $100 million annually.

Lemmeeesee, heah, Gomer:  Jobs?  or Regulations?

Hmmmm.
