(1) "That's higher than 2014 at 77,687 pages and higher than it's ever been at 81,405," wrote Clyde Crews, the vice president for policy at the free market Competitive Enterprise Institute. Obama has lived up to his promise to use his 'pen and phone' to change US policy, issuing 29 executive orders and 31 executive memoranda last year. That's on top of the 3,378 final rules issued by federal agencies like the EPA and the Energy Department. (1)https://climatechangedispatch.com/wp-content/uploads/images_pics8_gina_hill.jpg
