Over the past eight years, the number of job-smothering regulations churned out by the Obama administration is nothing short of staggering, especially given that the lion’s share of these costly rules overwhelmingly hits small businesses.

A recent Heritage Foundation report found that since 2009, 229 “major” regulations have been levied by the administration at a cost of $108 billion annually. This year alone, 43 new major rules are planned, costing American entrepreneurs and consumers more than $22 billion.
