Resisting the Deep State  

     Part 1     

     A couple months ago yours truly began to count our federal agencies, starting with AbilityOne Commission. After counting about 40 agencies all beginning with the letter A, I chose not to continue. Our government is way more than a president, Congress and Supreme Court.  

     There is more we can do than vote. We can influence federal agencies that issue regulations, in essence, laws. Our new administration will have many opportunities to end expenses that don't help, and overhaul those agencies we obviously need.

     "For several years, a small Ethics and Public Policy Center (EPPC) in Washington has focused on applying Judeo-Christian values to politics. Attorney Rachel Morrison and her four-member team are determined to stem the tide of liberal regulations flooding the Federal Register.

     "The Register is an online database full of new rules and regulations issued by the U.S. government. The National Archives and Records Administration publishes every workday. 

     "More than 400 (someone already counted for me) official agencies and subagencies make the rules, some of which accomplish what members of Congress won't touch, because voters wouldn't agree. 

     "These rule-makers don't answer to voters, giving them dictator-like influence. Ms. Morrison analyzes the costs and benefits of regulations. 

     "In 2023 Congress passed 68 bills. During that time, federal agencies staffed by unelected bureaucrats, some being partisan presidential appointees - finalized 3,018 new regulations. That's over 44 times the number of laws passed by Congress." Over four years of the Biden administration, that would be more than 12,000 regulations.
