Hilarious: Obama’s Regulatory Czar Cass Sunstein Tells Congress That Industry Regulations Were Worse Under Bush…
Chutzpah.
(Washington Times) — President Obama’s regulatory czar told a Capitol Hill gathering Tuesday that the administration has produced fewer burdensome rules for industry than did the administration of President George W. Bush.
“There is no tsunami” of regulations, said Cass Sunstein, administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, at a symposium on innovation on Capitol Hill, rejecting complaints from the business community and congressional Republicans that the administration’s regulatory policies had harmed the economy and cost U.S. jobs.
Industry leaders have complained about the growth of costly regulations under Mr. Obama. It was U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Thomas Donohue who first called the new round of regulations — on banking, health care, energy and the environment — under Mr. Obama a “tsunami.”
But Mr. Sunstein argued that the administration is streamlining rules and relations of some 30 executive agencies.
“The annual cost of regulations has not increased during the Obama administration,” he said. “In its last two years, executive agencies in the Bush administration proposed far higher regulatory costs than did those agencies in the Obama administration in our first two years.”

Cass Nudge Sunstein says it all..
Emphasis on RED.
Pardon me while I call bullshit.
Czar=pinko commie rat.
“far higher regulatory costs”
———
Because at that time, money was still flowing and there was still something to regulate…..
.
Cass Sunstein, YOU LIE!
Cass Sunstien is essentially telling us to “pay no attention to the man behind the curtain” while they blow all the smoke and fire.
Reminds me of:
“The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.’”
what the f#*k ( OVER )
These are the kind of people that would come across a mugging victim..finish the job and take whatever is left over including clothes and whatever else (the body if its New York and their Mobile Chop Shops are about)
Depends on what your definition of “worse” is.
Regardless of how good any intended regulation is, it is the government agency workers that fail the oversight portion of said regulation. How many times do we have to read/hear about government employees watching pr0n, favoring lobbyist who are boyfriends of Congressmen, etc., before we realize that they’re not doing the job they were hired to do?
This most deadly enemy of our Republic needs to be forcibly frog marched from his government office and hung from a gallows erected on the steps of the Capitol Building. He is one of many evil minions perhaps the worst illegally brought into this government by the Communist in Chief Obuttma.
He’s only making the Agencies UN compliant
Cass Sunstein is a genuine shit for brains communist.
from a communist’s perspective he’s right.
i’m sure van jones, jeremiah wright, bill ayers, anita dunn, valerie jarrett, the first wookie, president el diablo, and the rest of his gang would all agree with nudge.
This is the same blabbering nincompoop who wants to give animals the right to sue in court he is a stupid annoying hippy wacko and his blabbering out his stupidity everytime his big fat piehole is open
Cass should go fawk himself.
