Ron Johnson actually said...

To pick up on Senator Paul's comment that this is a bipartisan problem, I realize this is not a perfect surrogate for the size of the Federal bureaucracy, but at the end of President Franklin Roosevelt's terms, we had 86,000 pages in the Federal Register. By the end of President Richard Nixon's term, there were 560,000 pages in the Federal Register. Today there are over 3 million pages of rules, rulemaking, and regulations. It is really incomprehensible.

Context

Johnson highlights the exponential growth of federal regulations over time.
