Certainly not one of Bush administration's greatest achievments
Cato institute reports on Bush and the growth of government.
In President Bush's second year in office, the Federal Register, a chronicle of all regulations proposed and enacted by federal agencies, held an extraordinary 75,606 pages of new rules. That's about 300 pages issued each business day during 2002. Not only is that a new record for the Bush administration, but it's an all-time record for any presidential administration, according to Clyde Wayne Crews Jr. of the Cato Institute.
Theoretically, Republicans are supposed to be squelching this bloating regulatory process.
