Biden regulations have cost Americans almost $10,000 per household: study
Biden admin regulatory costs surpassing those under Obama, research shows
 
The Biden administration's burdensome regulations have cost Americans about $10,000 per household, according to a new report, which noted that figure could skyrocket if President Joe Biden is reelected in 2024 and serves another four years.

Casey Mulligan, a professor of economics at the University of Chicago, compares the regulatory records of President Biden and former Presidents Donald Trump and Barack Obama in a new study published by the Committee to Unleash Prosperity.

As of the end of last year, according to the study, the Biden administration imposed new regulatory costs on American households and businesses at a pace that is surpassing that of the Obama administration during a comparable time period. Specifically, Mulligan writes that the Biden administration has so far been adding regulatory costs at a rate of $617 billion per year of rulemaking, not counting regulatory costs created by statutes and other non-rule regulatory actions.

DeSantis Refuses to Lose

Bowing to popular demand to expand upon my recent analysis of the DeSantis strategy, I note that all the smart insiders, like @MAGAKing69 and @TrumpMemeLord4976, have come to a conclusion – it's time for Governor Ron DeSantis to pull out of the race. It's all over, seven months before the actual voting, because the polls they like reinforce their (and the Bulwark sissies', and the Democrats') hope that Heavy D just can't touch the Trump. Maybe. It's possible that Donald Trump has this race won right now, and the governor is just too dense to see that there's no way things can possibly change in a race against a volatile guy with multiple indictments (frame jobs, BTW) here and coming over the next half a year. But Ron DeSantis is a Roman – Quintus Fabius Maximus Verrucosus, to be precise – and he's fighting his fight, not the fight the braying bots demand he fight.

That's where his Fabian Strategy comes in – and full credit to my pal, the great Michael Walsh, for identifying Proconsul Ronulus as harkening back to the old SPQR paradigm. Who was Fabius? He was the guy who refused to lose.
