Given your political leaning, I can understand why you champion regulation as a means of controlling the population. It is a Progressive cornerstone to have professional administrators control society, rather than elected officials who must answer to voters. I guess the thinking is that the ebb and flow of voting and politics gets in the way of long term agendas sought by regulatory agencies staffed by proper thinking professionals.
It's probably one of the most dangerous aspects of Progressivism, but again, given your leanings, I an understand why you would make excuses for their actions.
The truth is, the regulatory burden placed on business, and for that matter, society, is causing great economic harm. It's been written about extensively.
For example:
Tale of the Red Tape: $22 Billion in Savings from Cutting Ridiculous Regulations | The Fiscal Times
It's nothing but a debate tactic to demand specific examples, when I could select from dozens, if not hundreds that do so. Rather than waste time on that, since this question has been asked many times before, with answers rejected out of hand (why waste time again?), I offered a link to an official website that lists all of them.
So how may people do you think know the government has enacted close to 1,000 new regulations in the last 90 days? Do you know how many over the last 5 years? How does that compare to historical averages? The answers are available, by agency, via the link I provided. That is, if one cares to educate themselves.
This game the left plays by suggesting any complaint about regulations means the complainer wants ALL regulations cut is intellectually vacant. It's not all or nothing. But with no way to defend the incredible regulatory overreach of the current administration and the sycophants it has placed at the head of the most powerful ones, I recognize it's all the left has.
