President Obama before he leaves office is ensuring more of Americans’ hard-earned money leaves with him as he puts into effect so-called midnight regulations projected to cost $6 billion.

The Washington Examiner has the details:

The new regulations, according to the watchdog group American Action Forum, include four from the Environmental Protection Agency and one from Interior.

“These five measures alone could impose $5.1 billion in costs and more than 350,000 paperwork burden hours. In addition, three other rules in proposed form could add $898 million in burdens and 146,000 paperwork hours, for a cumulative total of nearly $6 billion in potential midnight costs and nearly 500,000 burden hours from the two agencies. Consider, EPA and Interior have already imposed $349 billion in previous burdens since 2009,” said AAF’s Sam Batkins.

President Obama is doing all he can to secure a legacy of stifling industry and innovation and burdening American families with more paperwork, all this without the consent of Congress.
