Rep. Hageman: It's time to pull the REINS on absurd agency regulations, rules, and spending

The fact is simple: spending and rulemaking by federal agencies is extremely out of hand, creating immense financial burdens on Americans – the equivalent of $14,684 per household every single year. This is coupled with the absurdity of some of these rules, such as the EPA's overbearing RFID eartag rule and attempts to define irrigation ditches on Wyoming's farms as "navigable waters", which would place private property under federal authority.

For anyone who is still skeptical of the hidden laws being forced on the American public by unelected bureaucrats, consider this: in 2021, Congress passed 143 laws, while federal agencies issued 3,257 rules; a ratio of 23:1. We must return the role of governing to America's elected representatives; the REINS Act will do just that.
