Hey Joe, let just make the government larger and larger!

I have said it here many times' It isn't the law you have to look out for. It's the regulations.

Laws you can fight. The regulations have you by the balls.

You'd think after almost 250 years of lawmaking that we would have had every law we need made already, but noooo. They're not following that law, I know let's make a new law that'll fix it. They never seem to realize that if they don't enforce the last law they passed, then they're not going to follow any new law

At least new laws are written (in theory) by people elected to do it. Regulations are written by people who control our lives without having been selected by we, the people. They just get paid by us. Grrr.

Trying to stay up with FARs and myriad other forms of BS boilerplate created by or because of the government has become an impossible task. I'm in the middle of trying to complete our "vendor registration" for a new contractor that recently beat out long-standing existing one that we'd done a fair amount of business with over the last decade. My gawd....thousands of pages to dig through, forms to fill out, certifications to make, tens of thousands of more pages that are included by reference, ever-growing business insurance requirements and on and on....

35 years ago, we were awarded an omnibus contract to support a NAVSEA activity on base and elsewhere for three years. The amount of boilerplate involved could be read through in 15 minutes.

Been saying that for years, they just need to past the 12 appropriation bills in a timely manner.
