MIKE LEE: OBAMA'S 'UNELECTED BUREAUCRATS' WROTE 80,000 PAGES OF RULES IN 2013


“Behold my display of the 2013 Federal Register,” Lee wrote along with the photograph. “It contains over 80,000 pages of new rules, regulations, and notices all written and passed by unelected bureaucrats. The small stack of papers on top of the display are the laws passed by elected members of Congress and signed into law by the president.” - Matthew Boyle/Breitbart
