A Baaaaad Idea

I am quoted in an otherwise-excellent writeup at Rare.us about the federal government’s National Sheep Industry Improvement Center.

On the Radio: Ten Thousand Commandments

Today at 12:30 ET, I will appear on the Schilling Show on 1070 WINA in Charlottesville, Virginia to talk about the new edition of Ten Thousand Commandments. There is a link to listen live at the top of the station’s homepage.

How Many New Regulations?

The Daily Caller has a nice writeup of some of the numbers Wayne Crews and I have been digging up recently.

New Regulation Every Three Hours

Today’s Daily Caller contains a nice writeup of some of my recent research, as well as that of my colleague Wayne Crews. The article also drew a link from the Drudge Report.

OC Register on Yellen as Fed Chair

I didn’t see this until today, but earlier this month the Orange County Register was kind enough to cite me in an editorial about Janet Yellen shortly after her confirmation vote.

New Study on Unemployment Benefits

The Washington Free Beacon quotes me on a new study about how unemployment benefits affect the unemployment rate. The article is here, and the study is here.

Regulation in the News

One of my biggest complaints about political news coverage is that, while tax and budget issues get plenty of press, regulation is mostly ignored. Seeing as the $1.8 trillion price tag for federal regulations is more than half the size of the federal budget, this is an enormous oversight. This week has been an exception.

Over at National Review‘s The Corner blog, Veronique de Rugy discusses some of the alarming numbers coming out of the regulatory state. The Drudge Report saw fit to link to Vero’s post, with the typically Drudgeian headline “Feds rolling out new regulation every 2.5 hours…”

Last night, Bret Baier was kind enough to rattle off some of the numbers on his Fox News program. You can watch the clip here.

It’s good to see these important numbers being aired publicly.

Regulators Revving Up

An otherwise-excellent roundup of regulatory shutdown coverage in The Hill‘s RegBlog quotes yours truly.

In more important news, the regulatory ramp-up that I have predicted won’t happen until at least Tuesday. Monday’s Federal Register is already online, and contains just one regulation and 60 pages.

Economic Stall Speed

Richard Rahn’s otherwise-excellent column in today’s Washington Times cites Wayne Crews’ and my research on regulatory costs. He also cites our colleague Matthew Melchiorre’s new paper on European austerity.

Sequester Symposium

My colleague John Berlau was kind enough to cite me in his contribution to a National Review symposium on the sequester. You can read his otherwise-excellent article here.
