“Mr. Speaker, Federal agencies in Washington, D.C., are setting new records. Unfortunately, these are not records that they should be proud of. In 2013, the Federal Register contained nearly 80,000 pages of new rules and regulations imposed on American businesses. We know that the result of this is that it stifles jobs, it slows economic growth, and it hurts opportunities for hardworking Americans. Before coming to Congress, I was a small business owner. I saw firsthand the devastating effect of these regulations on job creation and growth. This administration will be remembered for one thing, and that is ObamaCare, which I think is the worst law written in the history of the universe. But it will also be recognized for another, and that is Dodd-Frank, which runs a close second. Both of these are emblematic of this philosophy of bigger government, a more powerful government, a less effective government. Now is the time to get serious about reducing the regulatory overburden upon the American people. ____________________”
