This bill could rein in the regulatory state

Between 1995 to 2016, there were 88,899 federal rules and regulations implemented compared to “only” 4,312 laws.

That trend has in no way reversed itself. In fact, it’s one of the biggest problems our country faces that no one outside of politics really knows about. In short, your lawmakers — the ones whom you elect to represent your interests and wishes — don’t really do all that much legislating anymore.
