U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) today announced that Self Check, a free online service of E-Verify that allows workers to check their own employment eligibility status, is now available in Spanish...

If the federal government's regulatory operation were a business, it would be one of the 50 biggest in the country in terms of revenues, and the third largest in terms of employees . . . Under President Obama, while the economy is struggling to grow and create jobs, the federal regulatory business is booming.

Regulatory agencies have seen their combined budgets grow a healthy 16% since 2008, topping $54 billion, according to the annual "Regulator's Budget," compiled by George Washington University and Washington University in St. Louis.

* "HEALTHY," MY ASS...!!! SHEER POLICY POISON, FOLKS... INFLATING THE NATIONAL DEBT WHILE DEFLATING PRIVATE SECTOR PRODUCTIVITY. IT'S THE OBAMA DOUBLE-WHAMMY!

Meanwhile, employment at these agencies has climbed 13% since Obama took office to more than 281,000, while private-sector jobs shrank by 5.6%.

The Obama administration imposed 75 new major rules in its first 26 months, costing the private sector more than $40 billion, according to a Heritage Foundation study. "No other president has imposed as high a number or cost in a comparable time period," noted the study's author, James Gattuso.

(*GNASHING MY TEETH*)

The number of pages in the Federal Register - where all new rules must be published and which serves as proxy of regulatory activity - jumped 18% in 2010. This July, regulators imposed a total of 379 new rules that will cost more than $9.5 billion, according to an analysis by Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY).

[M]uch more is on the way: The Federal Register notes that more than 4,200 regulations are in the pipeline. (That doesn't count impending clean air rules from the EPA, new derivative rules, or the FCC's net neutrality rule. Nor does that include recently announced fuel economy mandates or eventual ObamaCare and Dodd-Frank regulations.)

* FOLKS... IF THEY'RE NOT ACTIVELY TRYING TO DESTROY OUR COUNTRY'S FREE MARKET ECONOMY THEN... WELL... WHAT IS IT THEY'RE TRYING TO ACHIEVE?
