RenMan cites the really scary part (speaking of Leviathan)....
A Competitive Enterprise Institute
working paper, “Tip of the Costberg: On the Invalidity of All Cost of
Regulation Estimates and the Need to Compile Them Anyway,” assembles total federal regulatory costs of $1.8 trillion — equivalent to half the federal budget (tenthousandcommandments.com). Guarding against overregulation without representation could help bring that figure down. It is long past time we did so. --quoting WaTimes
That's just Federal costs. It's likely that State and Muni reg-costs are at least as much. Taxes are a mere pittance in comparison.
Where's that idiot Strupp to tell us that regulations cost nothing because they're free?
